  • Join your host Andrew Tisser in the fourth episode of Career Strategy Sessions as he talks about what marketable skills are, why it matters to have them, and where to find those. It is often heard from clients, friends, colleagues, and others how all they know is what their current profession is, nothing more, nothing less. Saying you do not have other skills besides what you already know is complete utter nonsense. Today, Dr. Andrew explains that physicians and other healthcare professionals have more skills to offer that are not only desirable but also marketable and valuable.

    In this episode you will learn:

    · What is a marketable or transferable skill?

    · How to discover personal marketable skills

    · Why it helps to be creative in showing innate skills

    · Examples of marketable skills

    · Create a skills inventory and use elimination to pinpoint commonalities
