Objective: Learn the difference between skills and core competencies and how these relate to job descriptions. Take time to do some self-research and reflection, and find out what values are important to you. Make a list of your core competencies and soft and transferable skills, empowering you in your job search.
You will learn to identify and categorize your skills so they are clearly articulated on a resume, during interviews, and in interactions with potential employers. In this workshop, we will discuss the nine skills for success that people need for work, learning, and life. We will discuss NOC and encourage further research on what skills are required for interested industries in your job search. By the end of this workshop, you will know what your HARD SKILLS, SOFT SKILLS, AND TRANSFERRABLE SKILLS are.
For optimal learning, bring a copy of your resume or as much information as possible regarding your previous job descriptions to make notes for further revision.
