COMMUNICATION
AND TEAMWORK
The importance of
skills acquisition in contemporary world cannot be overemphasized. This is
because lots of people tend to pride themselves as knowledgeable and
intellectuals; but most times these knowledgeable lacks the necessary skills to
back up their knowledge especially in work places. While knowledge is tools
acquired through observation and study via senses such as listening, watching,
reading, touching, etc. that can be transferred from one person to another, in
another side skills are tools refers to abilities to apply a gained knowledge
to a specific situation, and are developed through experiences, trainings or
practices.
If one must excel and
become better prepared individual to meet a desired performance, she or he must
therefore acquire the necessary skills for such tasks. There is no doubt for
one to develop skills, the only way is through practices; the more you do something,
the better you get at it.
Practice, they say,
makes perfect; so with constant practice one will eventually become perfect in
showcasing skills that will make them marketable to the world. More often than
not, recruiters and employers search for skills during recruitments and those with
the right skills are often given the first consideration for employment and
this gives anyone who posses them an edge over others at such times.
Graduate employers places a lot of emphasis on finding candidates with the right skills and competences for their organizations, depending on the career sector and profession you choose to work for, there could be very specific skills, abilities and knowledge needed to do the job and with so many
graduates now on the market, employers look for evidence of skills and work
experience which can make one stand out from the crowd. Hence, I advise you to start gathering them now or work on what you already have so as to be able to
impressed and be successful when an opportunity is presents to you!
These can also be complemented with general competences
and behaviors that are essential for successful working. Although these are
often overlooked by candidates seeking for jobs, they are the very things
employers want to see evidence of and they surely make a difference in our
society today!
For example, among
the numerous top skills graduates recruiters/employers wants are these important below:
1. Communication
skills
2. Teamwork (ability to work in harmony with co-workers)
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
This covers verbal, written communication, and listening. It’s about being clear, concise and
focused; being able to tailor your message for the audience in such a way that
your message is conveyed and listening to the views of others either by email, text messages, phone calls and even body language.
TEAMWORK:
Employers and
managers love working with those who can easily get along
with colleagues and work with others effectively in different
circumstances. One has to prove that he/she is a team player and also has the
ability to manage work force as well as delegate to others and could take on responsibilities.
It’s about building positive working relationships that help everyone to achieve
goals and business objectives.
Indeed, these among
others, are the crucial skills that when well cultivated can change one’s story for
the better and take one to another level of achievements! They surely make a
difference!
