Do you have what employers are looking for? Sure, right now you may only be seeking part time employment while still in high school, but this is a tremendous opportunity to practice the skills and attitudes necessary for successful employment in the future. There are a number of skills you need to consider no matter what career filed you are considering.
Strong Work Ethic
Employers want workers who are reliable, dependable, and self-motivated. You can develop these skills through your academic courses and extracurricular activities.
Time management involves planning and following a schedule, listing tasks you need to complete, and estimating how long it will take. Good time management skills are needed in every profession.
Problem-solving Skills
Most employers look for workers who can identify problems, develop solutions, and then implement them. These skills make workers more independent and valuable as an employee. That's why so much emphasis is placed on math (problem-solving) in school!
Communication Skills
Verbal communication includes both speaking and listening. Written communication includes reading and writing. ALL of these skills are important in any chosen career. Communication is a two way street and those with the ability to communicate effectively will get ahead in life. Work on these skills every chance you get.
