People with a diverse skillset can take steps toward different job titles, industries and career paths. And transferable job skills are a vital asset for newcomers, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving to a new country often means a shift in your career. As a result, you may take on work in different fields when you first arrive.  This could be because you need to acquire new certifications or pass licensing tests to work in your area of expertise in Canada. This can take some time. As a result, you may need to work in an unrelated job to supplement your income until you can resume your career in Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we will define transferable skills, how to identify your skills and provide the most in-demand skills in Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-transferable-job-skills\"><strong>What are Transferable Job Skills?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Transferable skills are abilities and attributes that you can use in a variety of situations and for different types of work. Most of these skills that you have developed over time through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>previous work experience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> education, and <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>life experiences. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Transferable skills include hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills refer to your technical ability. Soft skills include skills such as communication, leadership, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. While your hard skills are important, it\u2019s your soft skills that help you stand out among other job applicants and succeed in your role.
