Here’s What Employers Are Looking For

Landing a job in today’s market isn’t always easy, but when you develop the qualities and skills that employers are after, you make yourself stand out in crowded candidate pools.

COLLABORATION AND TEAMWORK

Regardless of the industry you’re interested in or the role you’re looking to fill, you’ve got to be able to work well with others. According to NACE, 80% of employers are seeking candidates who are supportive, reliable, and excel at working toward collective goals.

COMMUNICATION

The most successful organizations are built on a strong foundation of communication. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employers want to hire candidates who know how to express their thoughts clearly, both in written and verbal formats. Hiring managers are also searching for talent who excel at active listening, giving constructive feedback, and dissecting nonverbal cues.

DIGITAL SKILLS

Companies of all sizes are more connected to the internet than ever before. It makes sense, then, that employers are on the hunt for tech-savvy employees. PwC found that 80% of CEOs consider the digital skills that employees have. In today’s job market – and more specifically, the IT sector – employers need talent who are familiar with cloud-based technologies and have proven skills for a range of digital applications.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

When you’re able to identify, analyze, and solve nuanced problems effectively, you’ve got an edge over other job candidates. That’s especially true if you’re a self-starter who tackles problems proactively rather than reactively.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Having relevant work experience that demonstrates practical knowledge and industry-specific skills is a huge resume builder. Whether through past jobs, internships, or other projects, it’s important to communicate why your experience matters for the job you’re applying to.

3 Tips for Developing
Measurable Career Success

Everyone’s journey to the job of their dreams is different. As you continue to develop the skills and qualities that employers need, keep these tips in mind to help expedite your success.

REFINE YOUR
COMMUNICATION
SKILLS

Most of the biggest problems occurring within organizations today stem from communication breakdowns somewhere along the way. Technical skills are necessary in fields like Accounting & Finance, Healthcare, and IT, but strong verbal and written communication skills are fundamental in any role.

  • Some of the best ways to hone your communication skills include:
  • Take time each day to practice communicating in clear, direct ways
  • Sign up for networking opportunities in your local community
  • Capitalize on career development programs offered by employers
SET AND STICK
TO GOALS

Giving yourself specific career goals to stick to gives you a tangible way to work towards bettering yourself and your career. One tool that we find helpful is using the acronym SMART to set your goals:

  • Specific: Set specific goals with clear outcomes
  • Measurable: Use milestones or metrics that help keep goals measurable
  • Achievable: Set goals for yourself that you know you can achieve with the time and resources you have available
  • Relevant: Aim to accomplish goals that align with the development trajectory you have in mind. If you want to get a temp-to-hire job at a local health clinic, take the time to develop skills and attributes that Healthcare employers want
  • Time: Give yourself a reasonable deadline or timeline to cross off a goal that you know you can accomplish
BUILD KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

If you’re eager to learn new skills and always want to absorb new information, you’re ahead of the game. Continue to invest in yourself by:

  • Reading or listening to career development books
  • Watching or listening to podcasts that cater to professional audiences, especially those within your industry or desired career path
  • Completing industry-specific programs to get digital badges and certifications that show off skills to employers
