What skills to include in your cv?
Connect: If you are unclear about what skills the job requires because the job advert gives little information, then search similar job titles online and note what those positions are looking for. Once you have done that, create a list of your matching skills and competencies.
So, what skills should be included on your CV?
Transferable — skills learnt in one field of work that can easily be adapted to a different field.
Job-related — skills of qualifications that are directly relevant to a specific job.
Adaptive — skills that are difficult to substantiate because they cannot be proven by experience but by personality traits.

Communication
Teamwork
