Getting recruited at the end of your degree is one of the most awaited moments in the life of a student. It is where life really begins for them, giving them a chance to prove their mettle to the world. It is also a great opportunity to showcase their skills and talents to the recruiter of their dream job.
However, the sad truth is that not everyone makes it to the finish line of almost every interview they sit through.
This happens because recruiters always look for specific skills in candidates to determine whether they are fit for the job or not. This is because employers invest in freshers to move with the industrial standards, which means that they only choose candidates that are worth the investment for them.
The obvious question then is what really are these skills that make a student “recruitable” by an employer. Irrespective of what field, course, and program you belong to, recruiters will always be looking for certain things in you to check whether you can be recruited or not.
This article discusses in detail what skills make you recruitable, and therefore, should be developed and enhanced.
Skills that will get you a Job After your Degree
- Business Knowledge : Needless to say, where you are working is a business for someone, after all. However, you may not have to be the owner to understand how a business works.
The knowledge of how the business works gives you better decision-making ability to create unrivalled product strategy, eventually proving your worth in crucial moments for your employer. - Communication : Be it verbal or written; communication is important for you to be understood, and for you to understand everything that is happening around you. The key is to make sure that you understood the message and your message was understood on the receiving end.
- Teamwork : Nothing is ever a one-man show, especially when the stakes are high and the levels to reach are huge. Teams make sure that the work can be done faster and more efficiently, with every member working like a cog-wheel in a clock.
That is why “clockwork” is a term used for impeccable teamwork. Make sure that you are a team player instead of a one-man show. - Problem Solving : In the end, business is all about solving the problems of your customers. If you possess critical and logical thinking abilities, you are instantly hired by a company because you are someone who will not make a decision on whims. You will think, have a logical approach and then come up with a solution.
- Ability to Work Under Pressure : Keeping calm even in the face of crisis is the mark of a true professional. In the history of the world, there have been countless examples of leaders and innovators, showing a calm demeanour while working under pressure and ultimately bringing out a better result. That is what your employer wants from you; not cracking under pressure.
- Confidence : Confidence is important as it mostly likened with competence in the corporate world. If you have confidence, you are competent enough to be in the race. However, there is a thin line that separates confidence from arrogance, a place where a person just stops being competent.
