Know What Employers Look for in their Prospective Talents

Below are some of the things that hiring managers and human resource specialists look for in their prospective employees:

(a) Excellent Communication skills – This trait involves active listening, raising or asking relevant queries, making effective and clear presentations as well as writing direct and easy-to-understand electronic mails, notes, and reports.

(b) Critical Thinking – This quality is associated to the decision-making ability of an individual, based on the information that he has acquired from credible sources. After all, most employees these days are expected to come up with snap but sound decisions to address and respond to requests, solve problems, analyze data, interpret reports and most importantly beat deadlines.

(c) Creativity – This trait, on the other hand, involves the ability of an individual to come up with fresh ideas that will help the company sustain its profitability or to stay ahead of the competition. This is a highly-regarded quality especially in the fields of advertising or marketing, sales, product development, software engineering, business administration, and others.

(d) Collaboration – Employees today are expected to be team-players. They should support and collaborate with their co-workers to ensure that corporate goals will be attained within specified lengths of time.
