TRANSFERABLE SKILLS:

As you begin your search for a career and/or job, it is important to know your qualifications and communicate these skills to an

employer through your resume, cover letter, and interview. Over the years you have developed many skills through your

coursework, extracurricular activities, and life experiences. Review the list below and identify which transferrable skills you have

and reflect on how you acquired these skills. Use this information when creating your resume to describe your experiences and the

skills gained from these experiences. For example, if you have researched a topic for class and then wrote, edited, and presented a
