One of the most common questions I get is: “I work in admin, what jobs can I do with my skills?”
It is important to understand your transferable kills. If you do want to learn more about them click here.
The first step is to make a list of all your skills. I suggest you write them down and group them by type.
Here are some common types
- IT Skills
- Management skills
- Language skills
- Manual handling skills
- People Skills
- Creative skills
- Data skills
Once you got a good inventory of your skills it is time to look at other opportunities. Write down your top 5 skills and head over to one of the job boards. Lets say you are good at admin tasks and you like to use powerpoint.
In this example I used indeed.co.uk
From the example you can see there are more than 13K jobs. Have a look at these job titles and see if any of them are a good match. This should help you to broaden your option when looking for work.
