Just returned home after attending a "Career Connection". This was sponsored by a local television station and many local employers. There were workshops, resume building assistance, and prospective employers.
That got me to thinking.......again, things were so much simpler in the olden days. Many years ago, if you were a female, your "career" was pretty well mapped out. You grew up, learned all the skills needed to run a household, got married and applied the learned skills. If you were a male, you either took over the family farm or you apprenticed to learn a trade.
Nowadays? You'd better be well versed in all of the latest internet tools. Are you LinkdIn? Do you tweet? You DO have a web page and a blog, don't you? And by all means, don't just list your skills on your resume, list all of your transferable skills.
There's the rub. I can list all of my skills, but my primary skills aren't transferable in the 21st century!
Scotty, beam me up.
