Small intro and recap

• I got laid off
• My old employer offered me an outplacement package as part of the severance.
• this is me sharing this outplacement with you
  the whole thing costs over 10k so if I do not have to pay for it i thought i might as well share a bit with you guys as well

Appointment 3:

Today I had another appointment here at my outplacement and we went through my Stars I had written down.

If you are new to this series, you can check the second post written above to find out all about stars.
So I filled out my excel file and a few of my projects that I had done

now everything was very straightforward until the skills...

What I realized when we were going through what I wrote was that all the things that we do every day and take for granted are skills.
To generalize a lot here I will take walking. This is something almost all of us take for granted and is something we do not think about. But it is a skill, this is something we have learned.

Now walking is not usually something that you see in a job description as a wanted skill but there are a lot of things that you are doing every day that are wanted skills in jobs that you did not think about.

• helping colleagues with their excel or powerpoint, you are teaching, training and helping and all are skills even though it might be something so natural to you that you do not see it that way.

So by next week I have to fill in 20 projects I participated in, things I have realized, helped with. And all those I have to list, describe and then figure out the skills I have used to come to the end result

try it out and you will be amazed

and then ask someone else to do the same and go over their results with them and you will see that they have not listed a lot of skills because they took them for granted

AND SO DID YOU

So the this means the next job interview you go to or application letter you write it will be easier for you to list a set of core skills with examples of when you used them and also have another list of peripheral skills that you use in certain situations.
