Matching Your Skills - To Your Job Search
Matching Your Skills to Find Appropriate Jobs
Skills refer to the things you do well. The key to finding the
most appropriate jobs in the industry is recognizing your own
skills and communicating the significance written and verbally
to a probable employer.
Majority of the most viable skills are those that are used in a
variety of work settings. What are these skills? Would matching
your skills to find the right job be successful?
* Determine your skills. This would help you in becoming the
lead candidate of landing the job. A skill does not necessarily
mean it was adapted in a work environment. If this would be your
first job hunt and you have no job experience to date, you still
have a chance in the industry.
Majority of skills, including knowledge-based and transferable,
could be absorbed and developed as a volunteer, a student, a
homemaker, or in your other personal activities. The skills you
have used for these activities can still be applied to your
desired jobs.
Organizing and listing your personal skills could help you
easily fill out job applications, provide useful information for
job interviews, and prepare quality resumes.
First, you should categorize the skills by separating your
interests and aptitudes from your work experience.
1) Aptitudes and interest. These include all of your hobbies,
activities you have been involved in the past, and all the
things that interest you. By listing all of these down, you
could examine the skills it takes to achieve
each item.
Skills from aptitude and interest may be homemaking, playing
basketball, fixing cars and many more. All of these items could
determine if you are capable of working with a team, able to
handle multiple tasks, have viable knowledge of human
development, knowledge of electronics and ability to diagnose
mechanical and numerical problems. The list goes on, but make
sure to consider the skills that would be beneficial for a
working environment.
2) Work history. This includes volunteer, part-time, freelance,
summer and full time jobs. Once you have listed all your past
employment, examine the skills you do work each work duty.
* Ask for help. As soon as you have your list ready, you could
now go to job services that could help you acquire your desired
job. You could also search job yourself. However, always
remember to match your skills and abilities in your list to the
needed skills and abilities of various jobs.
In most cases, people who seek jobs are threatened with job
titles. This should not be the case. As long as your skills and
abilities could meet the requirements of the workload and job
title, your possibility of acquiring your desired job increases.
