Many skills we learn are transferable between jobs even if they are in different industries. Good time keeping, organisation and people skills are required in nearly all jobs and once you have mastered the basics of these, they can help you quickly adapt to a new role.

If you have been in a previous job role and have come across a situation that was hard to manage, then you may have learned a new skill that helped you in the future. This skill may be needed time and time again in subsequent roles and therefore it is vital not to forget it.

If you are struggling with one or two particular skills then there is no shame in asking for help and advice. Many employers actually look fondly on employees that do this as it shows that they are evaluating their own work and performance and picking up on areas of improvement that are needed.
