How to communicate job skills to employers

Communicate Your Job Skills Effectively

  1. Your ability to clearly communicate your skills is vital. You will need to do that in:

    1. A promotion or job interview,

    2. Preparing a written or video resume,

    3. Writing your LinkedIn profile,

    4. Networking with others in your career, or

    5. Giving a presentation.

  2. To be effective, learn to describe them using the "PAR" method:
    Problem:
    What was the problem you faced? What were the basic issues?

    Action:
    What did you do to resolve the problem? What actions did you take?

    Results:
    What observable results were there? Changes in behavior? Any numbers? Be concise. Practice in front of a mirror.
