Reference your transferable and soft skills #toptiptuesday 48/52

We recommend including a skills section in your CV.

This should include specific industry or software-related skills you have but also make reference to transferable and soft skills you possess too.

Making reference to transferable and soft skills is particularly important if you are looking at changing the industry or role you work in. As the presence of these skills on your CV can help fill in any industry-related gaps you may have.

Examples of transferable and soft skills include problem-solving, leadership, adaptability, teamwork, time management and communication.

Of course, anything you say on paper should be backed up practically. So be ready to give examples of how you use these skills at the job interview stage.
