Selling Yourself using the Transferable Skills Kit - Our Secret Weapon!
How do I sell
my Transferable Skills?
This is the powerful secret weapon of the 4MinutesToTheJob system – a two hundred-fifty page multiple-choice kit. Transferable skills are those skills that you may have learned in previous jobs that may be unrelated to the job your are seeking. Transferable skills are often learned in non-work activities. They will help you break into the new career you want, or get the internal promotion you deserve.
We went right to the heart of the recruiting process. Why do employers want to have a resume? Why do they interview you? The key? Employers want to know your skills. Employers don’t hire you for the places you worked. They hire you for the skills that you learned
at those places
The better the place, the better the skills. We will sell your skills to the employer into the career you so richly deserve!
Here is an example of quantifying one of the sixty skills listed in the Transferable Skills Kit. Many candidates want to get across the idea that they can get along with people. They want to show that they have some skill in responding to clients - Client Relations. The way to get this message across as is to quantify the skill.

Most of us are only able to identify 6 skills. We use 15 to 30 skills on a daily basis! Where are the rest?
"Putting the resume together with you showed me how to describe my job experiences, quantify my skills, talk about how I use those skills and how to market myself by presenting them on paper - which up until then I had not been able to do….
As a employer I am less interested at this point in whether you are "good" as much as I am interested in some proof that you have dealt with people! This is simply calculator work.

Most of us are only able to identify five to seven skills that we use in our work every day. In fact we use fifteen to thirty skills on a daily basis! 4MinutesToTheJob developed a list of 60 basic skills that are used every day in jobs from which you can choose yours. You also have an easy multiple-choice method to describe how you use your 15 to 30 skills. Imagine when you present 15-30 skills! Geoffrey Lalonde
