Section 9 - Employability skills


Important employability skills

Communication skills - these are the skills required to transmit or receive messages accurately to and from other people by speaking or in writing, without misunderstandings. These skills include:

Verbal Communication – or the words that we use, whether face-to-face or in writing. The balance between face-to-face and in writing is likely to vary in different jobs, but few, if any, will not want at least some of each type of communication;

Non-Verbal Communication –  or what we communicate without words, for example through body language, tone of voice, or even emojis; and

Listening – how we take in and then interpret the verbal and non-verbal messages sent by others, including in writing.

Emotional intelligence – or the ability to recognise, understand and manage your own and others’ emotions, and use them positively to achieve the desired outcomes.

Team-working – the ability to work with others in groups and teams, both formal and informal. Not everyone is required to work in a close-knit team—despite the language used in many organisations—but the ability to function well in a group is a vital skill in most jobs.

Negotiation, persuasion and influencing skills – these skills all relate to finding mutually agreeable solutions to problems or situations, whether by persuading others that your solution is best, or finding a better alternative by sharing ideas.

Conflict resolution and mediation – or the skills required to resolve disagreements in a positive way, whether your own disagreements or those involving other people. These skills are often underrated until there is a problem.
Problem-solving and decision-making – or the skills needed to work effectively with others to identify, define and solve problems, including making decisions about the best course of action. Of course, it is also possible to make decisions and solve problems on your own, but is required to do so with others adds an extra dimension to the situation.

What is Internet Based EDI? For most companies, the world of EDI is one that they have been exposed to for only the past five to ten years. EDI itself, however, is significantly older, going back to the days before the Internet was prevalent as a communication medium between businesses. During this time, EDI transactions were typically exchanged using third-party service providers known as Value Added Networks or VANs. Internet-based EDI has begun to grow at significant rates over the past few years, spurred in large part by the adoption of key Internet-based EDI technologies by companies like Walmart. Benefits of Internet-Based EDI Internet-based EDI can have a number of benefits over using VANs. The reason is simple - VAN based EDI and other "aggregators" of EDI data charge based on the amount of data that is used and transmitted over their lines. By employing Internet-based EDI you establish a direct link to your trading partners bypassing third part...
