Are you currently job seeking? It’s not always easy to figure out what skills are required when applying for a new role but there are some skills which employers will automatically look for and will apply to pretty much every job out there, regardless of the industry. Do you have these 5 essential skills? Let’s take a look Good Communication Good communication skills are a core part of life as well as any job and recruiters will want to know how you will communicate effectively in your potential new role. Communication skills are difficult to exaggerate as employers will be able to see in your interview how well you communicate and are well used to overlooking genuine interview nerves. Problem Solving Like communication, problem solving skills are an essential skill in the workplace and to discover how good you are at problem solving, a recruiter might ask for examples on how you have effectively problem solved in previous workplace roles. This will give them an insight into how your mind works and how well you can adapt to different scenarios or conflict. Teamwork Even in a remote role, it’s highly likely you will be part of a wider overall team. Your future employers will want you to demonstrate how well you can carry out your role as part of a team and what your place will be within that team. If you are applying for a managerial role, they will be looking at your leadership skills or how well you get on with a team to collectively move everyone towards the overall business goals. Adaptability In today’s ever changing business landscape, adaptability is a key component in any workplace. If you have the ability to learn, grow and adapt within your role, you have one of the essential skills most employers are looking for. Team adaptability allows an employer to implement improvements, make strategic decisions and remain competitive.  Organisation Organisation can mean many things but for a recruiter it most often means how an employee manages their time and energy for the most effective outcome for the business. Self-management in the workplace is a sought after skill which means that employees know how to best manage their time to stay productive and prioritise tasks. How is your job search going?
