Editor's Notes

  1. Knowledge and abilities relating to a particular job. Every job will need knowledge and skills necessary to successfully perform in the role. You will need to think about your skills and demonstrate evidence of how you have the require skills. The ability to identify suitable job opportunities. When you see descriptions of jobs that interest you, pay close attention to the skills the employer wants. Self-presentation for applications and interviews. Once you’ve identified the job you want, you need to be able to demonstrate employability skills and present them in different ways. This could include: CV, interview technique, experiences of how you have developed new skills. Academics It will certainly unlock doors – in other words it will make you eligible to apply for jobs that specify certain academic requirements. But, however, good your academics are it is likely you will be competing for the job with a high number of other candidates who are equally as academically qualified. Once your academics have unlocked the door, you need the right skills, attributes and knowledge to successfully secure the job. In parallel with your academics, you should aim to develop key skills that will help you in your future career. The skills you should consider developing are those that reflect your own abilities, personality and interests, as these will aide your choice of career. External factors such as the job market and personal circumstances. External factors such as supply and demand in the labour market. Your personal circumstances can affect your ability to seek opportunities i.e. Individual life, financial constraints, caring responsibilities, ability to relocate – be realistic!
  2. Talk through some of the skills employers are looking for… Written Communication - Able to express yourself clearly in writing. Verbal Communication – Able to express your ideas clearly and confidently in speech. Flexibility - Adapt successfully to changing situations and environments. Commercial Awareness – General knowledge of business, business experiences or work experience, and, specifically, an understanding of the sector. Teamwork - Work confidently within a group. Planning and Organising - Able to plan activities and carry them through effectively. Investigating, Analysing – Gather information systematically to establish facts and principles. Drive – Determination to get things done. Constantly look for better ways of doing things. Initiative / Self management – Able to act on imitative, identify opportunities and proactive in putting forward ideas and solutions. Time Management – Manage time effectively, prioritising tasks and able to work to deadlines. Numeracy- Able to carry out arithmetic operations/understand data. Self Awareness – Awareness of achievements, abilities and areas of development. Professionalism – Pays care and attention to quality of their work.
  3. Get actively involved in collage life – The best thing you can do at collage to make yourself attractive to employers is to enjoy your time! Employers will look at your academics, but also for students who have been proactive and got involved in sport, volunteering, etc. Develop personal skills – Students who get involved in sport or volunteering have more opportunity to use and develop new skills like communication, organisational and other similar skills. Build up your work experience – All work experience is relevant as it helps you develop confidence and those much needed employability skills! Find out about the careers open to you – Choosing a career involves more than just finding out what is possible for you to do. You also need to think about what you want from your career, your skills and abilities. Research careers that interest you – The website is a good starting point. Shall we add NAS, ICAEW etc? Attend employer / career talks – They are a good way of starting you career planning. Prepare and keep your CV updated – Start to prepare your CV, you will have new things to put on your CV, if you get involved! This will save you effort and time in the future and help you start thinking seriously about job applications. Practice filling our application forms – Most employers require you to complete an application form demonstrating the competencies they are looking for. If you start to practise and think about your employability skills now, it will save you time when it comes to apply for a ‘real ‘job.
