Here's how you can utilize your transferable skills as an executive when transitioning careers.

I think transferable skills are only valuable if the “owner” of such skills is prepared to give time and patience to share that knowledge freely. This desire to share and the time set aside to share, are also both, skills! All said, sharing and transferring knowledge can be gratifying to the giver, and valuable to the receiver.

Transitioning careers can be daunting, but leveraging your transferable skills can make the process smoother and more successful. Here are some steps to help you utilize your transferable skills effectively: 1. Identify Your Transferable Skills: - Reflect on your past experiences and identify skills that are applicable across different industries or roles. Common transferable skills include communication, leadership, problem-solving, project management, and teamwork. 2. Research the New Industry: - Understand the key skills and qualifications needed in your desired field. 3. Translate Your Skills: - Reframe your skills in the context of the new career. Use language and examples that resonate with your target industry.

Bonjour, Mon expérience en tant qu'anthropologue des métiers et de sémiologue m'a enseigné à distinguer les mots et leurs usage. Ainsi, le mot "compétence", utilisé de manière abusive vient que plus tard, et seulement si cela est utile. La première action est d'objectiver les "verbes d'action" qui décrivent l'action/la pratique. En en effet le verbe, en lui-même donne trois informations : l'état, l'action et la situation. Ainsi, le verbe "observer" indique l'état de concentration dans le temps, il indique l'action, celle de suivre une évolution dans le temps, enfin, il indique une situation, celle de quelque chose qui évolue, se transforme, se désagrège, mute, etc. Observer n'est donc pas (encore une compétence.

In my experience, there are some core skills that have been important in career transitioning. First, the capacity of adaptation to different cultural backgrounds, it is very important to be open minded. Then, there is the ability of being humble and knowing that you do know everything about the new industry you are getting involved in, you can for sure bring new ideas and solutions, but first be humble and take you time to listen and learn. A third skill that I have found useful is the ability to be patient when identifing the opportunities of improvement and to have the courage to implement them, even when it takes time for teams to follow on the transformation that is taking place.

Industry 2.0 is by mechanical and analog technologies, has evolved into the Digital era, marked by digitalization and automation. Transferable skills from Industry 2.0 to the Digital era: 1.

Teamwork Note that the Digital era requires additional skills, such as: 1. Digital literacy 2. Programming/coding 3. Data science and analytics 4. Cloud computing 5. Cybersecurity 6. AI 7. IoT knowledge 8. User experience (UX) design 9. Digital marketing and e-com 10. CL and upskilling To succeed in the Digital era, build upon existing skills and acquire new ones to stay competitive.

Ce n'est pas tant la "valeur marchande" de la compétence qu'il faut apprécier, mais son utilité (lat. utilis = avantage pratique). Plus une personne peut nommer les verbes d'action qui structurent, organisent, animent sa pratique, plus, elles peut les valoriser de manière objective (ce que cela montre dans le réel). C'est de cette objectivité que peut être proposé une "valeur", c'est-à-dire, ce pour quoi elle est "estimable" et "appréciée". La valeur marchande désigne alors, la qualité avec laquelle une personne mobilise en connaissance un type d'état, d'action en situation, de sorte que celui-ci produise un résultat estimable. C'est cela qui, ensuite, permet de lui associer une valeur numéraire (marchande).

When you’re an executive making a pivot, one of the hardest things to do is to be very objective about your experience. You need to inventory the skills and knowledge for the role you want to have, and eliminate or back burner other skills you may have worked very hard to gain. You need to put yourself in the mind of someone hiring for the new role, so that you are a great fit. They must be able to see you in the role. it’s hard to do this on your own, so it’s helpful to enlist mentors in the field you want to move to, who can give you objective advice on which credentials to keep and which to keep on the back burner. For example, when I switched from employment litigation to HR, I needed to bury my hard-earned law degree.

Le CV n'est pas le support approprié pour valoriser les "compétences" (qui agit en connaissance de cause, ce pour quoi nous avons une légitimité). Il conviendra de préférer par exemple les "Open Badges", en raison de leur capacité à recevoir une data évolutive (photos, vidéos, témoignages, actions réalisées). Le CV, est fondamentalement déclaratif, là où l'Open Badge est illustratif et démonstratif.

It’s critical to build your network before you need it. Making a career pivot at an executive level requires investment and advanced preparation. First, you want to make sure that your vision of the role is accurate, and that it’s something you really want. It helps to join Industry and association calls, follow experts on LinkedIn, and educate yourself about the new field. This also helps you build a network in the new area that will help you if you do, in fact, transition.

4 ideas that helped me made my transition from a C-level Executive into an Executive Leadership/ Career Transition Coach/Mentor for Executives have been: 1. Revisit your personal purpose and make sure it is aligned with the one of the company that you aspire to join. 2. Manage effectively and even masterfully the virtuous triangle: Leadership- Networking and Visibility. 3. Facts not Fiction: Do not take for granted what skills the industry expects and needs from new hires. Get in touch with important players in your target companies and ask them. You will see that “ the map does not always match with the territory” 4. Adopt a helicopter view: Fly high and keep abreast of new trends and fly close to increase your quality of contacts.

It is not what you know but who knows you and your capabilities. Many skills may remain hidden if you have not outwardly shown them. Transferable skills are infinite, especially for teachers, mentors, coaches and volunteers, but you need to put them on paper for the audience so they can relate to them.

Transferable skills bring forth value that can be created/ offered to other people. Perhaps those people can help in getting a foot inside other networks and/ or industry forums to which one doesn't have access currently. Perhaps because it is a new industry or a new geo or another factor based on what the change in one's career is about. It is also important to identify connectors within existing network who can provide access to new connections or tacit knowledge that can help one in getting established in the new role.

Le réseautage n'est pas un "outil". Une clé à pipe, un crayon gris en bois sont des outils. Le réseautage désigne une qualité d'interactions dont le tressage et le maillage renforcent les liens humains dans le temps. Le réseautage vaut par la loyauté, la fidélité et le "rendu" des uns envers les autres. Plus la sincérité alimente le "réseautage", plus le rendu et la réactivité du "réseau" seront prompts et qualifiés.

The rapid growth and development of innovative technologies requires sharpened skills and technical expertise. Consider which skills are necessary and which areas of expertise you already have. How can these skills be both up-leveled and demonstrated? Which trainings or certifications may be of benefit? Which tools, attributes, methodologies and resources do you bring that no one else can to an industry or a position? Communicating your unique targeted value alongside your broader skills will prove beneficial to you and your desired team.

Clarifions : - Compétences : qualités de décider et de juger (le pouvoir de) - Capacité (lat. capacitas) : qui porte la promesse de - Connaissances (cognoscere) : qui en a l'étude approfondie (depuis les origines). Ce ne sont pas les "lacunes" à combler que le "là" où les connaissances peuvent être élargies. Par exemple, un linguiste aura tout intérêt à ma?triser ChatGPT, cela lui offre par exemple un potentiel énorme dans les Prompts Ingeniering. Il en a par principe la "capacité", il lui faut en avoir la connaissance, comme par exemple rédiger un GPTs. Ce qui lui vaudra une "valeur marchande" unique !

Apart from listing your transferable skills it is important to translate these into what value will you create in the new role thru various media These could typically have some simple metric attached

Transferable skills can be very beneficial in career transition & require mapping the current abilities with the new job role, weaving it into real actions and results. Identify your WHY- Why are you seeking the new job, how is it different from the current role and how important is it? Identify SKILLS- Which skills can be used in the new role, how well is it already used and if not, how can you showcase its benefits and optimum results? DEMONSTRATE examples- Craft small case scenarios to show your innovative ability to use current skills. Use the STAR method to add it to your profile. RESEARCH well- About the new skills, learn & speak to known professionals/mentors from the new role to seek insights to curate the best story.

Being clear of one's purpose and how it aligns with that of the new role and the organisation. Rest of the things can fall in place over time. But this is of core essence. If one is on the wrong bus, none of the other actions will really change anything. If nothing else, those will only increase frustration and dissatisfaction. The clarification within the self about one's purpose - the 'Ikigai', is a critical starting point for determining the career shift that's going to work for oneself.

We often look for transferable skills in our professional ??drawer??, putting forward the things we worked hard to acquire. Yet our skills are not limited to professional learning or experience. When considering the things we are good at, it is always useful to sit with people who know us well to remind us of all the qualities and skills they see. Some may be of a surprise to you, as these skills come so naturally to you that you may not even see them as skills.

Transitioning careers can be challenging, but effectively leveraging your transferable skills can make the process smoother. Here's how to do it: -Reframe Your Skills:Update your resume and cover letter to highlight how your current skills can benefit your new role -Use Industry / ATS Language:Tailor your language to match the jargon and terminology of your new industry, making it easier for hiring managers / AI to see the relevance of your experience -Learn New Skills:Enroll for certifications pertinent to your new field -Freelance Work: Take on freelance or contract work in your new field to gain experience and build a portfolio. -Side Projects: Start personal projects relevant to your new career to showcase your initiative and passion.
