5 Ways to Find Skills You Can Use to Earn Online (That Aren’t on Your Resume)

Most people think their resume is the only place to find skills.

👉🏻 It's not.

If you're considering remote, project-based work—especially as part of a life transition or move abroad—start by looking in more than one place.

These 5 prompts come from the Connection Guide I use with clients to help them identify where digital income can begin:

1. Work history: What do you do well? Not your title—your skills and strengths.

🎯Coaching: Traditionally, we get so caught up in titles and assume that:

1. It's who we are,

2. People understand what we do,

3. We dismiss the importance of skills.

2. What have people complimented you on, even casually?

🎯Coaching: What do people come to you for? If you asked people around you, what would they say about you and your skills? You probably haven't asked in a while, if ever.

3. Tasks that followed you from job to job or project to project.

4. Volunteer or personal projects where you naturally took the lead or fulfilled a role.

5. Apps or systems you know (and liked using).

🎯Coaching: This one can trip people up. If you've worked in companies with proprietary systems, you may feel behind on "worldly" tools. I did too. But most tools are learnable. And what you already know may surprise you.

I guide people 35–65+ who want to earn online using the skills they already have—so they can live and earn where and when they want.

Start here. 👆🏻The clues are already in your life.
