Have you ever been in a situation where you have to train an unskilled person to perform a highly skilled job?
If your answer is yes, you will know exactly how cumbersome it is to do this!
If you are unaware of the challenge that this poses, let us explain.
Your key skills are personal and professional attributes that you possess which make you a good person to hire. And these are judged on many levels.
Whether you know anything about the job for which you have applied is the first thing.
Then comes how well you can communicate and handle problems. And let’s not forget your ability to meet deadlines.
All these are key skills that you need to be able to survive in any work environment.
When a hiring manager picks up your resume or cover letter, he wants to know what it is that makes you tick.
Your experience and accomplishments are important too, but since these two are usually considered “past tense”, employers concentrate on your skills, which will eventually help their organization.
Skills are timeless – they are acquired and they remain.
A hiring manager would probably want to know what skills you possess which can be polished and used for the betterment of the company.
