Imagine this…
You’ve been applying for jobs for 6 months—with nothing but generic rejection emails to show for it.

That wouldn’t be so gut-wrenching, except you’re doing everything “right.”
→ Your resume is neatly formatted with buzzwords you found online.
→ You send out applications daily.
→ You even tweak your cover letters.

But while others around you are landing interviews and offers, you’re left wondering: What am I doing wrong?

🎓I was fortunate enough to be featured in another University of Houston article about 𝖶𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝖠𝗋𝖾 𝖳𝗋𝖺𝗇𝗌𝖿𝖾𝗋𝖺𝖻𝗅𝖾 𝖲𝗄𝗂𝗅𝗅𝗌? 𝖣𝖾𝖿𝗂𝗇𝗂𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝖤𝗑𝖺𝗆𝗉𝗅𝖾𝗌

Even if you haven’t had your first professional job, chances are you’ve gained some transferable skills from internships, volunteering, classes, and even extracurriculars. Transferable skills, as the name suggests, are skills you can transfer from one job to another. These may be soft skills, like collaboration and problem-solving, or hard skills, such as data analytics or coding.

This guide will help you learn more about transferable skills and how to identify yours so you can include them in your job application. We’ll cover:

How to Include Transferable Skills in a Job Application

Once you’ve identified the target skills from the job description, strategically place these skills on your resume. Don’t be afraid to include the exact skills from the job description.

“Recruiters decide who to advance through the hiring process by searching resumes for these specific keywords and phrases,” Matthew Warzel, CPRW resume writer, says. “It’s mandatory to add this core competency section.”

Warzel recommends including hard skills under a “core competencies” section and soft skills in the summary section.
