You may have heard of “soft” skills or transferable skills. These are skills that you gain throughout your life experiences that are relevant no matter what job you are applying for. The NACE Career Readiness Competencies are the transferable skills employers most commonly look for. It is important to not just list transferable skills or “soft” skills in your skills section because that doesn’t give an employer an idea of what skills you bring to the table. Instead, use your accomplishment statements to give examples of your transferable skills in action. You can work on Transferable Skills Badges as a way to showcase your development of these skills.
