The Virtue of Depicting Your Transferable Skills in Terms of Building Blocks: Suppose it turned out that these were my top ten favorite skills: analyze, teach, research, write, diagnose, synthesize, entertain, classify, convey warmth, lead, motivate. (I might prefer to put these verbs in their gerund form (ending in –ing): analyzing, teaching, researching, writing, diagnosing, synthesizing, entertaining, classifying, conveying warmth, leading, motivating.) If I then enter these terms onto a diagram of Building Blocks in the order of my personal priority, the top one defines the kind of job or career I’m looking for. If I put “analyzing” in the top block, I might seek a job as an analyst. But, if instead I move “teaching” to the top block, then I might seek a job as a teacher. And so on, with “researching,” “writing,” “diagnosing,” etc. I can choose between several goals.
