Standing Out
The fast paced and hyper-connected world of today has made connecting employers to job-seekers easier than ever before. This ease comes with increased competition, as more and more people can now search for and apply to the same job. Within this market, it is important to stand out as a competent, skilled and reliable worker who is flexible enough to meet the needs of an ever-changing landscape. Standing out as such a candidate is even more important in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Art of Communicating
One of the most important skills a potential employee can have is communication. This is why interviews are such an important part of the average recruitment process. They facilitate employers in looking for candidates who are confident, can clearly express their thoughts and are a good fit for the company culture. Being technically superior to other candidates is of no use if you are unable to communicate your knowledge and expertise.
In work-from-home environments, a whopping 75% of managers were concerned about reduced team cohesiveness caused by a lack of communication.
Flexibility and Innovation
Apart from communication, flexibility and innovation are other skills actively sought after by employees. The rapid changes brought by technology were already placing these skills at a high premium. In reality, 43% of executives worldwide cited the ability to innovate as a "competitive necessity" for their company.
You can foster innovation by striving to be at the cutting-edge of your job. The internet has created a network of learning resources readily available for workers to exploit and to develop their skills.
