2 Analytical amp Research Skills Every potential employer is seeking employees who exemplify improvement No work environment is perfect so this is an

ongoing opportunity to showcase your skill Your ability to assess a situation identify potential solutions and then execute accordingly is critical in the workplace This skill is heightened if you are able to view the situation from all perspectives

3 Self Motivation Be proactive Put forward your ideas and solutions Every employer seeks a candidate who is reliable takes initiative and works hard ndash

so be ready to take action at any time Showcase your work ethic Demonstrate that you can work without supervision and fulfill your commitments

4 Teamwork Work confidently within a group and let your voice be heard Maintain effective communication and a cohesive bond between your coworkers Because so many opportunities involve working in a group setting you must have the ability to work well with others

5 Technical Skills These are what you need to actually perform your work In todayrsquos world most jobs require an understanding of computer hardware

6 Strength of Character It is important to maintain your self-identity in the workplace You need to stand up for yourself defend your ideas and opinions and stand by what you believe in Employers want leaders who can set an example to the rest of the employees

7 Interpersonal Skills These skills are a way for employers to see how you relate to other people within your team as well as people outside of the

organization This can be measured by how you handle yourself in stressful situations how you treat people and what your level of emotional intelligence is It is crucial that you possess the ability to relate to your coworkers inspire others and minimize conflict

8 FlexibilityAdaptability You must manage multiple assignments and tasks while setting priorities and adapting to changing conditions Employers desire

a strong but flexible team player who thrives in an environment where they are asked to effectively prioritize and juggling multiple tasks

9 PlanningOrganizing This deals with your ability to effectively plan organize and execute within an allotted timeframe It also involves goal-setting Employers seek a results-driven achiever with a strong sense of detail orientation and time management

10 Problem Solving Skills Employers value an employee they can trust and do not have to micromanage constantly Analyze the problem and examine the

underlying causes before coming up with a solution and the means to achieving it
