Identify Occupation or Job Specific Skills
Job-specific skills are those you're qualified to do because of your education, training, or experience. For example, you may be able to build houses, translate text, or provide service to customers.
If you're planning to return to your former job or one like it, these skills will help you find work. However, if you're considering different types of work, look at your occupational skills and think about how they could be used in a different way.
This site will help you list your job-specific skills:
- National Occupational Classification
This site provides information on educational requirements for approximately 30,000 occupations in Canada.
When you have listed your occupational skills
- Describe the skill
- Estimate your level of skill- eg. beginner, intermediate, advanced.
- Write a brief description of how you have used the skill
- State how the specific skill demonstrates a more generic skill
- Describe how your use of the skill affects the work of the organization
- Describe how using this skill affects your sense of satisfaction at work
