Have You Done Your Skills Inventory?

I have attached this skills inventory https://bit.ly/2Z4lG2m and your personal SWOT Analysis https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_05_1.htm.

Be objective & honest - do your skills inventory. Go on the internet and search for top 3 jobs you would like to apply for (3 different job positions), read their Target Job Description (TJD) & match your skills.

The skills inventory will provide a snapshot in time of where you as an student or professional in terms of your capacity, experience (either paid work or volunteer), education and other forms of training.

A skills inventory summarizes your skills (soft, technical, transferable, adaptive). The use of a skills inventory can be invaluable for meeting a your company (where you work), school or business goals plus objectives, & for making better management & resource decisions.

Your skills describe what you like to do and what you are good at. You develop skills by training and experience that improve your ability to do tasks. Being able to identify and describe your skills allows you to answer key questions at job interviews.

Job interview questions such as:

What can you do for my organization?

What problems can you solve?

In the workplace, there are two kinds of skills: technical skills, and soft skills. Both types are essential for success.

A skills inventory is a valuable tool. It does have some continuing maintenance requirements however. You should implement a process for regularly updating of your personal and professional skills inventory.

Transferrable Skills

Generally not associated with a particular job or task. Transferable skills are usually broader and related to leadership, communication, critical thinking, etc. These are skills that can be utilized in a variety of different kinds of jobs & career paths.

Soft skills

Employers also want employees who fit in and get along well in the workplace. Soft skills are often the reason employers decide whether to keep or promote an employee. Some soft skills can be taught in school. But most you learn in everyday life & can improve on it.

Technical or Hard skills

Your ability to accomplish specific tasks. They relate to a particular occupation. You may have learned technical skills from past work experience, school or training. These skills are often included in job listings to describe the tasks of a position.

FYI:

Skills come in a variety of forms. We all have them! Skills are the things you do well and that are important to let selection committees, prospective employers or school admissions officers know about as you pursue your next steps.

It’s also good to know which skills you’d like to work on, so that you can develop a strategy to do so! Which skills do you lack that are necessary for succeeding in your next steps? Whether you are a new or an experienced professional, you’ve got a lot of skills (soft & hard).

Learn how to pinpoint your skills -- honestly and quickly -- when you
are asked, and to be able to back up your claims with examples of when you used them to accomplish something meaningful.
