Skills: "Think you haven't got any transferable skills? Think again!

Whatever you've been doing with your life, you've developed a long list of skills and many of these will be really useful in the workplace. Even if you haven't had a job for years, you've still got loads to offer. Whatever you've been up to, you will have acquired a collection of transferable skills along the way. Let's take a few examples:

If you've been at home, looking after kids, you'll have great organisational and time management skills, you'll be used to juggling 3 tasks at once, possibly be a good cook and definitely have learned a lot about childcare and multitasking. Many of these skills could be used to set up a home business, and indeed, working at home is often the ideal solution for parents who can combine self employment with childcare."
