Communicate Your Job Skills Effectively

1. Your ability to clearly communicate your skills is vital. You will need to do that in:
   1. A promotion or job interview,
   2. Preparing a written or video resume,
   3. Writing your LinkedIn profile,
   4. Networking with others in your career, or
   5. Giving a presentation.
2. To be effective, learn to describe them using the "PAR" method:
   
   Problem:
   What was the problem you faced? What were the basic issues?
   
   Action:
   What did you do to resolve the problem? What actions did you take?
   
   Results:
   What observable results were there? Changes in behavior? Any numbers? Be concise. Practice in front of a mirror.
