Employability Skills

I received another spam email from school reading…

EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

These have to be mastered by employable graduates and freshers include:

COMMUNICATION
TEAMWORK
LEADERSHIP
INITIATIVE
PROBLEM SOLVING
FLEXIBILITY and
ENTHUSIASM

Every skill helps us to learn one more as they overlap each other.

To quote an example, leadership encompasses a number of other skills including cooperating with others, planning and organising, making decisions and verbal communication. VERBAL COMMUNICATION itself involves various means of communication, some of which you may find easier than others — talking over the phone, making a presentation to a group, explaining something to a person with a more limited understanding of the topic for example.

By improving one skill, you may also improve a number of others. In the context of your career planning and development, they are called career management skills.

Enthusiasm will go a along way.

And if your thinking oh, someone else can be a leader, think wrong! Others think that way! And if somewhere in your mind you don’t want that leader, you will revolt right? And you can’t do anything about it, right? So, be a leader!  They can’t do anything to you either! And if there are many leaders like you, then be a servant leader — a leader yet a follower.

And, master being an initiator. Progress needs to start somewhere. So start starting!
