List of Skills
What skills do you put on your Resumé or CV?
You probably want to show your "transferable skills" and "motivated skills" on your resumé and CV.
Your motivated skills are the skills you are good at using and that you really enjoy using. In fact these are the skills that you can take with you (transfer) from job to job and from career to career.
To identify what your motivated and transferable skills are, use our Knowdell™ Skills Card Sort.
It only takes 10 minutes and it's fun. It's like playing a game of solitaire.
First, we give you a virtual deck of cards each with a different skill written on it. Then we lead you through sorting activities that will show you which are the skills you are both good at and you enjoy using. These are your transferable / motivated skills and the ones you put on your resumé.
We also show you what your "burn out" skills are. Just as you might suspect, you don't want to put those on your Resumé. Also, you will probably want to avoid any jobs that require you to spend a lot of time using your burn out skills.
Finally, the Knowdell Skills Card Sort will also help you identify your "developmental skills." Just as it sounds, these are skills you will probably want to improve.
