Since Coronavirus my business has taken a huge hit. People are afraid for me to come to their house. I am a professional plumber. You would think it wouldn't come to this right, but I am not working delivering groceries to peoples front doors now. I need money and things are tight. This will hold us over for awhile I guess until things go back to normal. Anyone need a good plumber? : (

Did you know that you can take the skills you have gained and transfer them into a brand new role? This can come in VERY handy if you need to switch careers temporarily such as during the time of the Coronavirus.

Here’s how to get started!

Check the job description If you’re not sure which skills you should include for a particular role check the job description and see what they are looking for! Here are a few examples of skills that you can transfer, check out more [here] (https://www.utoledo.edu/success/career/pdfs/transferable_skills_checklist.pdf). -Leadership -Motivation -Time management -Delegation -Communication -Research

Show proof Make sure once you add a skill to your resume that you show how you performed it at your job! -Don’t just say: "Great leadership skills." -Prove it: "Excellent leadership skills, demonstrated when I successfully managed a small team of individuals over the course of a three-day fundraising event."

Make a list of your job duties Create a list of your current and past job duties. Focus on more than what is required of you in your current/previous job or what was/is in your actual job description. Think about what you were you responsible for on a daily basis! Which tasks and duties have you done daily and also which ones did you fulfill that were outside what you were hired for?

Record your accomplishments Now it's time to list specific accomplishments. Did your boss recognize you at some point? Did you save a colleague time by helping them to complete a project? Think of achievements that are both large and small. They ALL matter to your next employer!

#militarytransition After a career in the military and working as a defense contractor, I am wanting to transition into a leadership position with a civilian company. I'm struggling to make the case that my leadership skills are as solid as anyone's who didn't spend their career in the military. How to best sell my experience?

Hello I am 60 and in the process of changing jobs for insurance, I’ve been offered a job but I need to find my transcripts which has been difficult to find, I need it with the next few days. Any suggestions?

Back in 2018 I decided to make a career change from client facing roles to software developer. I thin like a lot of folks in my shoes, the light at the end of the tunnel is so brilliant that it drowns out the hurdles to get there.
I've tried the self-taught route, I enrolled and completed a coding bootcamp here in #nyc all the while attending networking events, tech events, making connections left & right with the hopes of it landing me atop a stack of resumes. So far, things have panned out the way I had pictured it. Things are way harder than just creating a front-end thing or a full-stack project.
It takes determination, grid and a tough skin, as well, to make it through. I just need to catch a break & I hope one is right around the bend. #interview #stressful #developer #software #tech
