What are transferable skills? Simply put, they are skills you have acquired during any activity in your life; jobs, classes, projects, parenting, hobbies, sports, virtually anything that are transferable and applicable to what you want to do in your next job.
Many of you are currently looking for work and some of you have found part-time jobs or are working through agencies. You may even be transitioning into a new career. Whatever your situation is, you all need to know what transferable skills you have to offer to a potential employer.
Evaluating your skills is a very important part of every job search. Being able to effectively communicate your skills to a potential employer is equally as important. Yet, many of you have difficulty with both.
We can help you with this. We are offering a Transferable Skills Workshop here at the Action Centre.
This workshop will help you to discover what your Transferable Skills are.
Please call or visit the action centre if you would like to sign up for this workshop.
We wish to extend a warm welcome to our newest members from Servisair. Your Action Centre is staffed by laid off workers (Peer Helpers) who have been trained to assist you with your needs. Our newest Peer Helper is Angela Ashby of Servisair. In addition we have two Career Councilors on staff as well as a professional ResumeWriter. And of course our capable Coordinator Joanne Polubiec. All the services offered here at your Action Centre are free of charge to you. Several of your former co-workers are already using the services offered here and we would love to see many more of you.
