The Skill: Talking about your skills with a hiring manager 

This week, we’re diving into Season 2 Episode 4 of Let’s Talk About Skills Baby. On this episode host, Kelly Ryan Bailey interviewed Cynthia Hansen who is the head of the Adecco Group Foundation. Being able to frame the skills you have from past experiences to someone who has not worked with you before or is not familiar with your industry, is really important.  

In order to craft your skills story, you have to take a critical look at all of the collective personal and professional experiences you’ve had and identify what skills and behaviors you used in each. That way, you can consider and highlight what skills best demonstrate your potential for success in the specific opportunity you are after, and arrange them in an easy-to-follow narrative order. 

Key Takeaway: Sharing your skills story doesn’t only occur in job interviews. The ability to talk about your skills also helps you write a much more effective resume and cover letter!
