Professional Skills to a Successful CareerEdward Erasmus
Professional skills are skills that graduates need to posses in order to be successful in their professional practice. These skills range from highly specific ones related to the graduate's field(s) to more general, transferable ones such as communications and ethical practices.
When graduates apply for a job, most employers want to know what professional skills they have already, and how willing they are to learn industry and worksite specific skills. Employers normally want not just a list of skills (that graduates can easily get from a book or the internet), but they require graduates to identify their key professional skills and to provide evidence by citing examples of how they have used these skills already in relevant contexts such as at university or workplaces.
The slideshow discusses the 7 most wanted professional skills in today’s competitive professional environment.
The slideshow was presented at the Career Expo 2010 (Dec. 1, 2010) organized by the 4th grade students of the Faculty of Accounting & Finance of the University of Aruba.
Emotional Intelligence involves our ability to recognize, understand, and utilize our emotions in a constructive manner. How much impact does this have in the workplace: a lot! Research shows it is the strongest predictor of performance and the foundation for critical leadership skills. This full-day program provides participants with a framework of the personal and social dimensions of emotional intelligence, and provides concrete strategies for applying these skills in the workplace.
Knowledge and Skills are important, but attitude is necessary to evaluate a person's competence in the job.
