employability is about the skills that
you can offer a company not just in your
first job but in your entire career I
think it is everything that you are in a
professional context um every way that
you come across um call it your personal
brand if you like employability simply
means how employable you are for a
particular role it's really about not
necessarily about the specialist skills
that an individuals got but about how
they would fit into the organization employ
employ
look for a number of things firstly
they're looking for bright intelligent
people they've got a spark they're
looking for people who have going to
question the way things have been done
in the past and they quite prepared to
think laterally about how things can be
approved in the future you we are always
looking for people who can be going out
and representing our organization
because it's all about partnership
building across different sectors it
could be business it could be sport
Leisure the Arts and to carry the
confidence of an organization in
meetings and setting up and brokering
Partnerships is really really important
in my experience the people I've seen go
the furthest um are the ones who uh
communicate well they're people who put
their hand up and ask questions when
they're not sure I'd say communication
skills are the number one thing that you
need to pay attention to when we bring
graduates into our company um the most
important thing for us is their attitude
if they come into us with the right
attitude we'll teach them all the skills
they need to do the job but they've got
to have the right attitude to learn and
to get on and to want to improve and to
do the very best they can I would say
the most important skills for graduates
are communication skills organizational
skills commercial awareness and
interpersonal skills I think it's very
important to be adaptable to change and
recognize that the day-to-day aspects of
your job may not necessarily be what is
written on your job description building
up an online profile um I think is
incredibly important um and is an
important part of your employability um
looking at things like LinkedIn for
example which is one of the more
important recruitment platforms from an
employability perspective what's
important is to both invite and become
open to feedback and remember employeers
aren't looking for the finished article
they're looking for somebody who can
demonstrate that they've got the
potential who they can grow and nurture
