Introduction
Let's find out what skills you have. What equipment can you use, such as a computer or welding tools? What ways of working are you good at, such as talking to others, planning or multi-tasking?

All skills are useful when searching for a new job, but some skills are particularly highly prized by employers. Here is some more information about the most commonly requested skill sets.

Communication: Listening, speaking and writing. Employers want people who can accurately interpret what others are saying and organize and express their thoughts clearly.
Teamwork: Many jobs involve working in one or more groups. Employers want someone who can bring out the best in others.
Problem-solving skills: Employers want people who can use creativity, reasoning and past experiences to identify and solve problems effectively.
Personal management: The ability to plan and manage multiple assignments and tasks, set priorities and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments.
Interpersonal effectiveness: Employers usually note whether an employee can relate to co-workers and build relationships with others in the organization.
Computer or technical literacy: Although employers expect to provide training on job-specific software, they also expect employees to be proficient with basic computer skills.
Leadership or management: The ability to take charge and manage your co-workers, if required, is a welcome trait. Most employers look for signs of leadership qualities.
Competence in reading and maths: Almost all jobs require the ability to read and comprehend instructions and perform basic maths.
