We often hear the terms job-ready skills, soft skills, and/or employability skills from various career counselors. But are they necessary in getting a job or developing a successful work life? The six key skills that employers require for entry-level jobs are: Teamwork and Collaboration Professionalism Self-Management Learning Skills Communication Skills Critical & Creative Thinking
Professionalism • Entering the workforce directly after college is not easy. • Individuals need to demonstrate that they are responsible, can maintain good relations with others, are organized, can manage projects well, and can display a deep sense of self-control and good time management. • These are essential in a professional setting, and unfortunately, are not always taught at the university level.
Learning Skills • The ability to learn comes next. • Employers are looking for individuals who are willing and able to learn new things. • This shows dedication, especially if a potential employee is interested in attending webinars/seminars to make him or herself an asset to the company.
Communication Skills • The ability to communicate efficiently and effectively is one of the most essential skills for the 21st century. • Managers favor employees who can comfortably communicate in a professional manner with all levels of people. • In this digital age, it is also essential to be able to share knowledge and information through various electronic devices. • Those potential employees who can demonstrate strong verbal and written skills in different types of media have an added advantage.
Creative and Critical Thinking • Creative thinking is having the ability to solve a problem or issue in a way that is different from traditional methods, thus creating a new pathway to problem solving. • Critical thinking is the ability to evaluate, investigate, and assess the best possible solutions to resolve problems. • In today’s workforce, creative and critical thinking are both essential.
Teamwork and Collaboration • Teamwork and collaboration are necessary in today’s workforce. • Most jobs require cooperation and a joint effort between employees. • Recent graduates should have the capacity to work well in a team setting. • Remember, when joining a company, you need to think and approach situations with the goal of bringing success to your company.
Self-Management • Employers are seeking entry-level employees who most likely will not be project/team leads at the outset. • But these individuals do need to be able to demonstrate self-management with the capacity to plan, organize, and then execute the task at hand. • By developing these skills, an entry-level employee should be able to manage his or her job well, and handle pressure as it comes his or her way.
