1. Transferable skills
Flexible
I feel flexibility is a very good trait to possess. I can adjust and adapt to
changing situations. Nowadays, employers are looking for people who can
thrive on change and are not paralysed by it. I have noticed that many people
would describe this as being 'open minded'. I would be more inclined to say
it's someone's willingness to change course and adapt to new situations. I like
being able to derive and extract strategies from other's ideas. Being flexible
means to know your role and understanding the functions of other people's
jobs and departments. This will allow you to work with them more effectively.
Being flexible means making time for others. I am always willing to experiment
with new approaches, ideas and procedures. I value being creative and
perceptive.
Information Technology
I find technical skills and transferable skills are both typically important for any
job. As technologies change, technical skills can become absolute, forcing
people to continuously upgrade their skills. I have strong data entry skills as
demonstrated by my part time experience as an administrators assistant in
HR. In word processing- I have experience in providing reports and
correspondence to a professional standard using word software. I am lucky to
have transferable skills in the information technological background. I have
confidence using computers. I can learn how to use new software, and new
technology quickly. For example this year alone, I have been undertaking a
stockbroking course and an Internet applications module. There I was using a
variety of platforms including Microsoft Office Word, Slide-show bob,
notepad++ and pb works. It was my first time learning how to code. I have
been able to keep up in class and understand what they have been doing. I
have increased my technical communicational skills. I am concise and am
able to transfer my knowledge to others who also needed help. I am also
aware and understand how important data security and privacy are.
Problem Solving
I feel problem solving is one of the most important skills a person can have. I
have the ability to identify, analyse and describe a problem. I can consider the
impact and apply my knowledge to dealing with any complications. It is
important with problem solving to review various solutions and decide on the
most appropriate one and then work to putting your procedure into effect. I
believe that to be a good problem solver you have to be creative and good at
thinking on your feet, Applying knowledge, making connections and applying
formulas that have already proven effective. I can see issues in a broad
context. Being able to evaluate data and identifying facts that could potentially
cause a problem in the future. It is important to have an open mind but also
being able to make decisions under pressure adds to being a good problem

Listening
Listening is a very rare quality to find in a person, and I was pleased to
possess such a trait. The amount of listeners is very few compared to the
amount of talkers there are in the world. From personal experience, I find that
listening is the most fundamental component of interpersonal communication
skills. Listening is not something that just happens - that would be hearing.
Listening is an active process in which a conscious decision is made to listen
to and understand the message of the speaker. Most people talk and don't
pick up what is actually being said. I am more tuned into their subtle
suggestions and comments. I use listening as a tool, I always have my ear to
the ground looking out for new developments.
Organisation
I am fortunate that I have organisation as one of my top five skills. I have
always been able to plan and divide tasks into categories, as I have a very
orderly mind set. Skills I have mastered include, prioritisation, maintaining
control, time management. These are all very important when meeting goals
and deadlines. I am a very calm and level headed person. I am always in
cruse control at high altitude. I focus as if it's a straight line, I don't sway too
far away from it. I am a very determined and keep at something until I get it. I
don't let distractions get in the way of progress. I focus on doing the task at
hand quickly and effectively. I am a very efficient multi-tasker. I always follow
through on my word. I believe you have to be very disciplined to focus on what
needs to be done and to put everything else that's unnecessary out of the
way.
