David DellowPopular Skills that Employers want
Effective communication: Employers seek candidates who can listen to instructions and act on those
instructions with minimal guidance. They want employees who speak, write, and listen effectively,
organize their thoughts logically, and explain everything clearly.
Computer and technical literacy: Almost all jobs now require an understanding, ranging from basic to
advanced, of computer software, word processing, e-mail, spreadsheets, and Internet navigation.
Problem-solving/Creativity: Employers always want people who can get them out of a pickle. Problem-
solving ability can aid you with making transactions, processing data, formulating a vision, and reaching a
resolution. Employers need the assurance that you can conquer job challenges by thinking critically and
creatively.
Interpersonal abilities: Relationship-building and relationship-management are high priorities with many
employers. These skills confirm that a candidate can relate well to others, both co-workers and
customers.
Teamwork skills: The ability to work well with others while pursuing a common goal is a long-running
favorite of employers. But so is the ability to work with minor supervision.
Diversity sensitivity: In today’s world, cultural sensitivity and ability to build rapport with others in a
multicultural environment is highly valued by employers.
Planning and organizing: Workplace life requires prioritizing and organizing information. Employers value
people who, metaphorically, dig a well before they’re thirsty.
Leadership and management: Leadership consists of a strong sense of self, confidence, and a
comprehensive knowledge of company goals. These are qualities that motivate and inspire, providing a
solid foundation for teamwork.
Time Management: Being able to manage your time is an excellent attribute to have being able to work
around certain schedules and being on time you will lower your stress levels, always be on time. An
example of time management would be taking care of your workload in the time given and being able to
have spare time to complete other tasks. Another example of time management skills would be making
time for leisure so you have a healthy balanced lifestyle. If you're always working this could lead to
increased stress levels making your workload heavier and being unable to relax due to the constant stress
of work. A third example of time management skills is if you work in an office, you need to find out which
tasks are optional and which tasks are mandatory so you can complete the mandatory tasks first and then
complete the optional tasks if you have enough time. My last example of time management skills is if
you're at home, you should be planning what you want to do at what time. e.g. laundry at 9am washing
up at 10an and breakfast at 11am. Time management would be a necessary attribute for business
solutions because the employee with good time management would be able to prioritize certain tasks
and projects in an efficient time slot.
