🥁 Whether you realize it or not, your hobbies, passions, and past careers all have transferable skills. Drummer in a band? Add player discipline, group dynamics, and time management. Volunteer at the food bank? Add teamwork, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Be sure to update your #LinkedInProfile with these skills to increase your chances of being noticed by potential employers.
Your hobbies, passions, and past careers are a treasure trove of transferable skills, often unnoticed. For instance, a musician develops discipline, creativity, and the ability to perform under pressure – all highly valued in various professional settings. Similarly, a volunteer organizer hones leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Recognizing and articulating these skills, you can significantly enhance your job applications and career advancement. Don't underestimate the power of your past experiences. Whether it's a hobby like gardening, a passion for cooking, or a previous job in retail, each has shaped you in unique ways. Identifying the transferable skills within these experiences and highlighting them in your resume and interviews, you can position yourself as a well-rounded and valuable candidate.
LinkedIn 💯 we often think that hobbies , passion are not going to add value on your Cv/ resume / #linkedinprofile To be honest, when I'm interviewing candidates, I look for certain attributes that go beyond their professional qualifications. What surprises me is that many candidates, even those who are national-level players, don't highlight these aspects. For me, it's the things you do outside of professional hours that truly define you as an individual. Whether you're a drummer, cyclist, artist, or passionate about any other art, game, or extracurricular activity, it brings a depth to your character that's invaluable. I believe that these pursuits not only showcase your creativity, discipline, and perseverance but also demonstrate your ability to balance multiple passions and interests. It's these unique aspects that make you stand out as a candidate and, ultimately, as a well-rounded individual.
From drumbeats to teamwork, your skills are the score, show them off, and let your profile roar!
Your insights on how hobbies and past experiences shape our professional profiles are spot on!
Absolutely agree! In product management, diverse experiences blend seamlessly into the skill set. My journey involves harmonizing team efforts, navigating market dynamics, and crafting solutions with a creative edge.
So true! It's easy to overlook how much we learn from our hobbies and past experiences. Playing basketball and football taught me discipline, teamwork, and resilience, while my time volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club developed my leadership, communication, and mentorship skills. These skills really do transfer not only into my every day life but also into the professional world. LinkedIn
