| Employability Skills There are many different employability skills that employers are looking for. The most common are teamwork, organization, communication, problem solving and leadership. When you're looking for work you're working across an information gap. The employer or recruiter, knows what skills they're looking for, and you know what you have to offer. In order to bridge this information gap between yourself and the employer, you need to communicate to them in the language that they use in terms of skills. You need to translate what you have to offer into what they will understand. So how can you do this? When trying to understand what the skills mean, it can help to break each skill down into a set of behaviours, so you can recognize when yourself or others are displaying this skill. For example, communication skills could include, actively listening to colleagues or clients. Checking the details of what they're saying. Selecting appropriate content to convey to other people. And understanding the audience that you're communicating with. When employers say that they're looking for communication skills, they might really be looking for any, all, or some of those behaviors that we are going to find in the documents below.
