As we talked about in my last post, it's essential to remember the power of transferable skills. Whether you're looking to make a career change or trying to find a way to make past experience relevant to your sought-after role, these skills can make you more marketable against the competition and help you establish a strong personal brand.
Curious as to how you can effectively use these skills to your advantage? It's not as scary as it may seem! Here are four steps to prepare for your next interview.
1. Network The more people in your network, the more opportunities and the more advice you'll come across! Start building relationships with people in your desired field. Ask questions, and once you've built up enough credibility and trust, use them as a mentor! Hint, hint: Jobcase is a GREAT tool for this ;)
2. Read the job description Take a close look at the job description you're interested in. Be sure to jot down any skills that you have obtained from past experiences that could benefit you in the desired role. Think big! Don't be afraid to write down skills even if they seem loosely related.
3. Craft your story Transferable skills can be very powerful, but only if you can prove that you've actually obtained them! It's a good idea to have a few stories that can illustrate how you have successfully utilized transferable skills throughout your experience.
Here's an example of how to demonstrate your ability to "creatively problem solve." "I have a great track record of generating new and exciting ideas at the nonprofit I regularly volunteer for. My creative thinking resulted in a unique volunteer opportunity where we partnered with a local children's hospital to design and sell holiday cards as a fundraising initiative."
3. Know your worth Maybe you're shooting for a warehouse supervisor role, but feel as though your past package delivery experience isn't "enough" - wrong! You must value your own background if you want a future employer to do the same.
This is what it can look like: "As a delivery driver, I was responsible for multiple pickups and deliveries daily while maintaining a strict schedule. This taught me how to effectively manage my time and motivate my team to stay on track. I believe these skills would benefit me greatly in a warehouse supervisor role, and I could draw on them from day one."

Have you really stop and ask yourself WHY you're Passover for that Job? Could it be that you were not honest on your resume and in the interview?
Always tell the truth! It’s that simple. When you are telling the truth you don’t have to make anything up or recollect what you said during your phone interview or wrote on your application. The truth is always the same and it doesn’t change.
Honesty would provide for open communication and will facilitate finding the best match for both you and the hiring organization. Be who you are, tell them what you know, what you have done and what you are looking to do. That’s what it really comes down to and this honesty is greatly appreciated by people sitting across the table from you.
