                       Now I’d like you to try your hand at identifying some of the
                   job-specific skills you possess.


                   Job-Specific Skills Inventory
                   List 6 to 10 of your job-specific skills here. What abilities must
                   you possess to get a job in your chosen industry? It’s helpful if the
                   skills you include are those in the job description for the new
                   position you’re interviewing for. When the employer asks you the
                   inevitable questions, “What are your strengths?” and “What are
                   your skills?” you will have the best of your skills for that job right
                   at your fingertips.
