Cooperating with others e.g colleagues.
Interviewing skills.
I already have some of these skills, for example, Cooperating with others. However, if I want to get the job then I need to develop all the skills above. By the end of the BTEC course, I think i would have developed the following skills:
Hardworking
Interviewing Skills.
Ability to observe.
Why are these skills important?
Hardworking This is important in all jobs because in order for an individual to get a raise or a promotion, they need to be hardworking. To be hardworking, you go outside your limits of work. You do extra days etc.
Interviewing Skills
Later in someones work life, they might get promoted to the recruitment team. This is why this skill is important because the individual with this job will have to interview a lot of people. Another reason for having interviewing skills is that if someone new starts and one employee is looking after them, then they will ask them a lot of questions about how to do their job etc.
Knowledge of the Products
Since, I’m applying for a Supermarket Assistant, I have to re-stock the shelves with many different products. So this means that I have to know where products go etc. Moreover, customers might ask where certain products are.
Cooperating with others
If any individual is helpful to colleagues or customers, then this means many possibilities such as a good word in to the manager which could lead to a promotion or raise.
There are three different areas of skills:
Employability
Personal
Communication
