As Promised, there are 5 skills that every Employer is looking for in job candidates, they are as equally important as qualifications and work experience if not more. Unlike qualifications and experience they take personal interest in self development.

Critical thinking/Problem solving is necessary for almost every job. Employees need to be able to analyze evidence, question assumptions, test hypotheses, observe and draw conclusions from any form of data.

Critical thinking is not just a skill, but a habit formed to help with problem-solving.

Although critical thinking can be taught, it needs to be applied in the real-world experiences so you can make a habit of using critical thinking in your daily life.

Critical thinking skills are the top priority for an employer to hire someone. Although critical thinking skills are what employers desire and find most essential, the average employer thinks recent graduates are only “somewhat proficient” in critical thinking skills.

TEAMWORK & COLLABORATION Teamwork is necessary for jobs all across the spectrum. From construction work to marketing, nursing to acting, teamwork and collaboration is a vital part to keeping the organization or company running smoothly.

By interacting and collaborating with your colleagues, the organization or company will have growth and success. Everyone has a different skill set they bring to the table. By interacting with your co-workers, you may reach a better conclusion or idea than you would on your own.

When arriving at your new career with quality teamwork skills already in your pocket, you can be a step ahead of the competition. Although critical thinking skills were something many employers thought graduates could improve on, teamwork and collaboration impress employers also.

Teamwork and collaboration promote unity in the workplace, teamwork can provide improved productivity, it promotes work synergy, and can provide new learning opportunities.
Please work on this skill it's very important to demonstrate it as one of your strengths in an interview.

ORAL & WRITTEN COMMUNICATION You demonstrate these in your CV and Interview. In this technological day and age, shooting a quick text to your friends or family may not include proper grammar, which in turn, can result in a decline in your written or oral communication skills.

Another way your communication skills may decline is by the lack of face-to-face conversation. While being proficient in digital technology is necessary for many careers, technology should not be used as the only means of communication. Listening and giving feedback is important.

PROFESSIONALISM
There is one thing every employer has in common: they want their employees to have a strong work ethic and be professional. No matter what job or career you find yourself in after graduation, your employer will expect you to have a strong professionalism

In the Employer Career Competencies survey, all employers rated “Professionalism/Work Ethic” as 100% essential, but stated that only 42.5% of employees exhibit these behaviors.
If you have this you stand a great chance.

LEADERSHIP
By combining critical thinking, teamwork, professionalism and work ethic, and communication skills, you can become a great leader in your workplace.

These are the Top 5 skills you need to stand good chance in getting a job you've always wanted.

Tips on how to develop these skills will follow.
