Other Adaptive Skills you use “always” or “sometimes”:
Using Your Results
After filling out the form, print the results so that you will have a record of your responses.
1. Note the pattern of your transferable skills (i.e., do they concentrate primarily in working
with data, ideas, things or people or a combination?)
2. List the transferable skills that you checked as both “Do Well” and “Enjoy.”
a. Incorporate these skills into your resume and use them in answering interview questions.
b. Use these skills as key word searches in online employment sites (e.g.,
www.careerbuilder.com) to generate job leads that need them.
(Idea adopted by Kevin Donlin, contributing co-author of "Guerrilla Marketing for Job
Hunters 2".)
3. List the transferable skills that you only checked as “Enjoy” but not “Do Well.” What
could you do to improve these skills so that you could add them to your “Do Well” list?
4. List the transferable skills that you checked as only “Do Well” but did not check as
“Enjoy.” As you review job options, think about whether they require skills that you do
not enjoy, even if you can do them well.
5. List the adaptive skills that you checked as “Always” and use them to describe your
strengths in your resume or in interviews.
You may print this form for your records.
