Career Development Training: Leveraging Transferable Skills
Unsure if your background fits the job? You might be more qualified than you think! Leverage skills you already have in this workshop, where participants will receive practical guidance in identifying and articulating transferable skills from previous jobs, volunteer work, or life experience. Learn how to highlight these skills in your resume and in interviews to open doors to new industries or career paths.
These Tuesday sessions, organized and ran by Westport Library Career Coach Tarin Evans, offer a blend of career development workshops and professional networking opportunities designed to enhance your job search and career growth. Each week, we’ll offer a focused workshop on a specific career topic. These workshops cover various aspects of job searching, professional development, and skill-building, including goal setting, salary negotiation, interview strategies, and utilizing technology in the job market. These sessions are interactive and provide actionable advice.
