What skills and competences?

If you answer this question you could enrich your profile with the skills and knowledge you have acquired during your stay in another country.

Informal skills and competences are those that come from life experience, they are not academic or regulated, not credited with an official document. But they are what makes you different.

On this section of GOJOBGO you can find some of them grouped into five areas: communication skills, personal skills, multicultural and social skills, digital skills and professional skills. You can also think of other skills, knowledge or competences if you consider they add value to your curriculum. Here we provide a clear and simple way to organise and write down your professional profile so that it could be useful not only for your interviews for employment or formal documents but also in daily work-life situations.

It is important to describe accurately and precisely the skills & competences acquired during your mobility experience. Take a moment to think about it. All tasks performed during your stay abroad will serve to both develop skills and competences and knowledge you already had, and help acquire new ones. You can use / transfer these skills for professional sectors different from the ones you will find here, so please make a flexible use of them.

You also shouldn't forget… social and personal skills can also be a professional skills or a plus to your professional profile. For example, to be able to work in teams or to deal with cultural and social diversity can be fundamental in the work environment. Keep an open mind when establishing your professional profile.

In this section we will also provide some theoretical information in order to clarify the terms and expressions related to this topic.
