When searching for a job, displaying your most advanced, relevant skills on your

resume will help employers understand why you are a good fit for the job. If you are not
sure what skills you have, consider spending time answering the following questions:

 What do you enjoy? The tasks that come easily to you or that you enjoy often
translate into useful skills. For example, teaching people or those around you
solve problems can translate to strong communication, active
listening and problem-solving skills.

 Do you receive praise or compliments on certain abilities? Consider the skills


your managers or colleagues have noticed or complimented in the past. For
example, you may have received high scores for teamwork on a performance
review. You should also take note of what people come to you for help on.

 What previous accomplishments do you have?  Consider the times when you


accomplished something at work, big or small. You might have won an award or
simply completed a project that had better-than-expected results. What skills
helped you to do those things?
