1 Identify your transferable skills

Transferable skills are those that you can apply to different situations and roles, regardless of your industry or background. Some examples of transferable skills are communication, teamwork, leadership, research, analysis, creativity, and organization. To identify your transferable skills, you can review your previous work history, education, hobbies, and volunteer activities and list the skills that you used or developed in each one. You can also ask for feedback from your colleagues, friends, or mentors to get an objective perspective.

Any strengths that you have in the realm of communication and leadership will be highly valuable in interior design. This is a client facing profession, so skill in customer relationships is required. You will spend most of your time in an office environment, so it is also worth highlighting experience in administration, operations, and coordination of any kind. All of the above are important to include on your resume. I would also recommend, if you are unsure of the extent to which your past skills are transferable, to look up a few job descriptions for interior design roles you would be interested in, and examine the skills overlap with your own past role descriptions.

2 Match your skills to interior design tasks

Once you have a list of your transferable skills, you can compare them to the typical tasks and responsibilities of an interior designer. For example, if you have strong communication skills, you can use them to interact with clients, contractors, suppliers, and other professionals involved in a design project. If you have good research and analysis skills, you can use them to gather information, evaluate options, and create design solutions that meet the needs and preferences of your clients. If you have creativity and organization skills, you can use them to plan, sketch, and execute your design ideas.

As atividades intransferíveis desempenham um papel crucial na garantia da qualidade e na personaliza??o dos espa?os projetados. Essas tarefas, que incluem desde a concep??o criativa até a coordena??o de projetos e o contato direto com os clientes, s?o intrinsecamente ligadas à expertise e à vis?o únicas de cada designer. Ao liderar o processo criativo e tomar decis?es fundamentais, os designers de interiores garantem que cada projeto atenda às necessidades específicas e reflete o estilo e a personalidade dos clientes. Além disso, ao manter o controle sobre essas atividades, os designers podem garantir a integridade e a excelência de seu trabalho, diferenciando-se no mercado e construindo uma reputa??o sólida e confiável.

3 Highlight your skills in your portfolio and resume

Your portfolio and resume are the key tools to showcase your skills and experience to potential employers or clients in the interior design industry. You should tailor them to highlight your transferable skills and how they relate to interior design. For example, you can include examples of projects or assignments that demonstrate your communication, research, analysis, creativity, and organization skills in different contexts. You can also use keywords and phrases that match the job description or the client's brief.

Knowledge is the most powerful currency we have. As we age and experience more, we gain valuable insight that others might not have. THIS is where you can really shine. In my resume, though it was often regarded as unnecessary, I would list the titles of all my previous positions. I would only list details for the post pertinent, but I always included all of my jobs as it allows you: - the opportunity to have common ground and start a conversation - the chance show you have a broad range of skills gained from each job - talk about experiences you had from each position. Whether it's good or bad, if you list it in your resume for someone to see, you are then able to talk about it. You can't discuss something if people aren't aware of it.

4 Learn new skills and update your knowledge

You can also read books, magazines, blogs, or podcasts that offer insights and inspiration from experts and peers.
