Activity: Connect what employers require to your skills and experiences (T-Chart)
The T-Chart can be useful for resume and cover letter writing & interview prep. Try using this T-chart activity to match your skills to the skills the employer seeks.
The chart below shows how your potential employer’s needs can be linked to your skills and experience.
Take a look at the job you are interested in and ask yourself:
- What are the employer's needs?
- What skills do you have in relation that match that need?
- What were the related specific work experiences that can demonstrate this?
