Translating a skill for another industry is an art in itself. You need to show how that skill works FOR the new industry in terms that the hiring manager understands. The concern is that these skills aren’t proven. This can be a problem for all skills. If you can’t prove how successful you are at using that skill, then the employer doesn’t know what to do with it. If you can explain your skill to be the best fit for an industry, then you’re winning. We want your future employer to see what you can do and how it’s beneficial to them.

Out of the Arts is here to bridge the gap between arts careers and non-arts professional careers. By identifying transferable skills, examining overlapping interests, promoting creatives in the workplace, and incorporating arts into civic engagement, we aim to help communities and individuals thrive.
