Lately in class we have been talking about personally branding ourselves as we go out and try to find a job. I have had a hard time thinking of things that set me apart, or that would make an Employer interested in me. So, I decided to look up the top things that Employers look for, and I came across "The Top Five Things Employers Want" on a website http://www.thechiefbrandofficer.com/the-top-5-things-employers-wantand-your-personal-brand/) that's all about branding. Their top five were:
1. Communication skills
2. Analytical/Research skills
3. Computer/Technical literacy
4. Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing multiple priorities
5. Interpersonal abilities
The two that I think are most important are communication skills and interpersonal abilities. I have heard several employers say how important it is for their employees to be able to speak, listen, and write effectively. Especially in the business world, not only effectively but with time efficiency in mind. Time really is money!
I think that interpersonal abilities go so far in a business. If employees are getting along with their teams or coworkers, there tends to be a lot more focus within the company, which adds to the value of the company.
