Look Beyond Your Current Job for Transferable Skills

Some workers get so wrapped up in their job titles that they dont see any other career possibilities for themselves. Every job requires a certain set of skills, and its much better to categorize yourself in terms of these skill sets than be so myopic as to focus just on job titles.For example, one job seeker who was trying to accomplish career planning found herself stuck because she identified herself as a reporter. But once she looked beyond her job title, she could see that she had this strong collection of transferable skills such as writing, editing, researching, investigating, interviewing, juggling multiple tasks, meeting goals and deadlines, and managing time and information skills that could easily be applied to a wide variety of jobs in many different careers.
