Here is a post I ran across discussing the transferable job skills you gain while getting a grad school degree. As a straight forward analysis I think it does a good job of translating some of the tasks involved in getting a traditional Graduate degree into phrases that you can use on your resume or cover letter.
In a more abstract sense I think it can be instructive in finding ways to describe your volunteer work, side projects or not so explainable jobs into powerful items for your career portfolio. For instance the table item "You attend a meeting where you devise a plan for future research endeavors with your colleagues" could just as easily be "You attend a meeting where you devise a plan for future project with your co-volunteers" and use the same benefits/phrases as they do on the grid.
