Your skills are the abilities that you have gained by practice or by knowledge. Talent refers to your "natural" abilities; skills refer to your learned abilities.

If you are like many other people, you may have trouble identifying your skills, or think that you don't really have many. But we all have them. In fact, we all have hundreds of them! We'll help you identify some of these by looking at two main types of skills:

• Transferable skills - these are skills that you have been developing throughout your life and that you would use in a wide variety of situations.

• Job-related skills - also called technical skills, these are skills that are used in a particular job or cluster of jobs.
