- While a student identify skills that you lack or need improved. Seek opportunities to develop those skills. Be creative; get involved. Involvement can be short or long term.

- Get organizational skills through event planning, lab assistant, library/book store clerk, office (campus) assistant
- Get team work skills through athletics, intramurals, Habitat builds, theatre/music productions, campus councils, trip coordination
(I am considering running a series of posts highlighting different transferable skills and the common on-campus and off-campus jobs or volunteer opportunities where each skill might be developed. Would you be interested in this type of post? Please let me know – leave a comment.)
