Portable job skills

In class today we learned about how to make an appropriate job resume. For example what to include such as education, experience, skills, certifications, licenses, etc. Also we learned about transferable/portable job skills which basically are skills that you can take and put to good use at another job. Some portable job skills are computer skills, work habits, social skills, etc.

I also read some portable job skills articles and discovered that woman who change jobs are more likley to succeed in thier new firm than most men. Reason for being is because unlike men, women build their success on external contacts, meaning they develope good relationships from outside sources and clients rather than in the work enviorment. Women put mort thought into changing their jobs such as cultural fit and values other than men due to the reason of how limited usually the women keep their bond from men workers.

Another article i read said that most jobs you have to depend on the job more for the success rather than the portable skills that you have. For example if you are in a job that requires you to work with colleagues rather than outside sources shows less effectiveness at a job. It may be difficult sometime for you to seperate your skills to the performance of your enviorment at the job. Getting a balnce of the two is difficult because most times you need depend on your work within an organization.

In conclusion, in this class i learned skills to make a better presentable resume for a job and also how crucial or minimal your portable skills can be of value in certain job firms. Whether of sexuality or just of company values or enviorment.
