Employability Skills
Do you feel prepared for new job opportunities?
Are you restructuring and want to help prepare those leaving the business?
It is all too easy to get trapped in the here and now, while new opportunities pass us by. At Gundog HR and Development, we are passionate about everyone having the chance at a new beginning, a new opportunity to do something different, or better. We firmly believe that every single person has talents, skills, and knowledge that will enable them grasp opportunities when they occur.
What are Employability Skills?
Sometimes called foundation or transferable skills, these are core skills and traits that are required in pretty much every job out there, so you can take them with you from one position to another. Employability skills are the abilities that will be at top of the list for prospective employers and can include:
Soft Skills: These are non-technical and will show how well you can work with other people, for example, time management, communication skills, problem-solving, empathy, and listening skills.
Professional Skills: Communication skills crop up here again, both verbal and written. Other skills include networking, dealing with difficult situations/people, business writing, bringing ideas to the table, understanding difficult concepts, asking for help, putting forward yourself and your team.
