HOW TO GET A JOB
Education today is far more than just the stud that you undertake in a formal course.
It is a big mistake to think that you can secure your future by simply doing the "right" course; but an even bigger mistake to believe that you don't need to do any study at all.
Today's world is complex, and employers are increasingly looking at the complete package when choosing who to employ. They want employees who can contribute now; but also show the potential to grow with the job, adapt to change, and contribute more strongly as the years go by.
How important is Training or Qualifications?
Many people assume that if they do the right course, they will be guaranteed the job they want.
Most of the time, nothing is further from the truth.
Education can provide some of the things that attract an employer, but they will rarely provide everything
What Employers look for:
- Knowledge –what you know…scope, depth, quality & relevance
- Physical Skills -what you can do
- Contacts –who are you networked with
- Momentum –are you continuing to develop in life, or are you stagnant
- Motivation
- Ability to Communicate
- Presentation –how you appear, grooming, body language etc
- Problem Solving Ability
- Experience
- Life Balance –Mental & physical stability
- Credentials –formal qualifications, licenses, industry affiliations/memberships
