Transferable Skills

My 3 Transferable Skills

Viewing issues from different perspectives

Having empathy allows for better understanding and care when working with co-workers or clients. I developed this skill from working in teams that required me to put myself in other people’s shoes. This resulted in successfully creating solutions that accommodated for the target audience.

This skill will be useful when communicating with others to develop ideas that suit the client’s needs. Having different perspectives can open new ways of thinking and heighten innovation and creativity.

Resilience

It is a fact that things will always go wrong at work. Therefore, having the resilience to face the issue and persevere towards a solution is important. After experiencing multiple hardships in individual and teamwork, I've come to understand how to control my reactions to failures and maintain a positive mindset.

Resilience is beneficial when working in company projects so that when things go wrong, team morale is intact, allowing us to motivate co-workers and continue to work hard towards a solution.

Working in teams

Collaboration is key to any group projects. This includes working with clients or executive members. Having the interpersonal skills to sustainably work well with others creates success, allowing ideas to bounce from one another. This welcomes different ideas and creativity as we all strive towards a collective goal.

Agile vs Waterfall Models

What is the Waterfall Model? The Waterfall model is suitable to use when project requirements are well-defined and understood, and changes within the project are small and limited. Advantages of using Waterfall is that there is thorough documentation and a clear structure. As a result, it requires less management coordination as every detail of the project is already planned beforehand. The model relies on a clear sequence of events however it can be seen as an inefficient management approach. This is because the model is difficult to adapt the project when changes arise. For example, if a client decides to change a major component of the project, the Waterfall model would be deemed ineffective, wasting time and resources.  Further, the Waterfall model is extremely strict in its structure. It follows a linear formula and if a single deadline is missed, then the future product releases can be massively affected. Waterfall also makes it difficult to obtain user feedback and product v...
