Why do employers look for them? With your transferable skills, employers see U as a very valuable source of skilled labor. Once you acquire a skill, you can transfer it to their organization and develop it further. Often at an interview, employers will look for evidence that you have the skills they are looking for.

Highlighting your Transferable Skills Your skills must be highlighted on your Cover Letter and Resume and be the focus of discussion at an interview. Be aware of what you posses. Research the company and job description. What key job skills are they looking for? Where did I develop these skills in the past? Give concrete examples.
