Creativity is one of your most valuable transferable skills. At the professional level, most companies are interested in people who are inventive and who use their imagination to generate original ideas.
However, it’s not sufficient to simply say "Yes" in answer to an interviewer's closed question, "Are you creative?"
Neither is it sufficient to use the adjective “creative” somewhere in your CV and your LinkedIn profile to describe yourself.
You also need to illustrate your creativity by giving one or two examples of achievements you have made that would have been impossible were you not creative.
The same goes for all your other transferable skills: use your achievements to illustrate them.
So there’s your next challenge: write down a list of what you consider to be your transferable skills and now write down at least one achievement that would have been impossible if you didn’t have this particular skill.
