Bridging the past and the future: a standards-based approach to transferable skills [slides]

National Library and Information Technicians Symposium, 27-29 September 2017 North Sydney: bridge to knowledge
 
This conference presentation (PowerPoint slides) supports the paper which discusses identifying transferable skills for resumes and selection criteria.
 
Library technicians who are searching for work need a list of their skills for use in resumes and for answering selection criteria, however identifying and precisely defining these skills can be a problem. While the ideal situation is to have relevant work experience for all criteria, sometimes users lack this and need to obtain wording from elsewhere. This conference presentation (PowerPoint slides) supports the paper which examines transferable skills from a structured, user-based perspective focusing on using skills from the standards for activities that the user already undertakes.
