Skills
Employers review skill sets when considering job applicants. A worker with the ability to step into a position with minimal training often gets the job when time and training budgets are tight.

Describing your skills can sometimes be difficult. For assistance, visit the Skills Profiler. It will help you build a list of your current capabilities to use in your resume.
You can also view videos of different types of skills and abilities to gather ideas to use in your resume.
List the skills you possess that are relevant to the position you are seeking. They should be ranked by importance to the potential position. If you are new to the workforce, or making a career transition, your list of relevant skills may be brief. If you lack related skills, you can emphasize the "soft" skills you possess (such as organization and communication).
