Why Transferable Skills Matters
Transferable skills let you show value when switching careers or applying to a role you have not held before. Naming them clearly helps an employer see how your past experience fits. They can also help explain gaps or non-linear career paths.
Example
A teacher applying for a training role highlights presentation, planning, and group facilitation. These skills apply directly even though the job title is new.
