Hi Douglas,
I think there are certain skills that can be applied to essentially every job. Some of those include: strong writing/communication skills, project management, and problem solving.
I work as an accounting consultant - designing and testing SOX internal controls and optimizing companies' processes. The skills I mentioned above are critical in my day-to-day. I need to communicate what is currently happening, how it can be performed more effectively/efficiently, and what the company needs to do to get there. Additionally, I help manage large projects with set milestones. I need to be able to monitor the budget, communicate status, and identify potential roadblocks. Additionally, should issues arise, it's important to be able to think through solutions - that's where the problem solving comes into play!

Hi Douglas! My job skills include strategic thinking, attention to detail, being proactive, and having a team player mentality. I think it's important to remember that we're all human and mistakes can happen and an important skill to have is to never be afraid to ask for help or admit when a mistake has happened.
