Skills are things you learn, that help you do other things. You might pick them up through work, study or activities you do in your spare time. And when you’re applying for jobs, they’ll be the things that convince employers that you’re the right person for the job.
If you’re able to recognise and talk about your skills, you’ll find it easier to work out what you want to do. Sometimes it’s difficult to think of ourselves as having lots of skills, but you are more skilled than what you think! Complete the ‘what are my skills’ quiz in the link below to help you realise all the skills you have! There’s also tools to help you build on the skills you want to develop.
