If you\u2019re planning to move your career forward next year, there are plenty of skills that you need to develop. Employers in Brighton are looking beyond the traditional\u00a0graduate\u00a0and other qualifications nowadays, perhaps more than ever before.<\/p>\n
Here are our\u00a0top 8 highly transferable\u00a0skills\u00a0that really make a difference and which you might like to develop in 2019 to improve your chances of success in\u00a0finding a job in Brighton<\/a>:<\/p>\n We all know it\u2019s important but how many of us are really good at it? You need to be clear, concise and engaging whether you are producing written material or talking face to face with a customer. If your communication skills have room for improvement, it\u2019s time you worked on them.<\/p>\n While he may not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, Trump\u2019s much vaunted \u2018Art of the Deal\u2019 is important. Everything in your career is a negotiation. You don\u2019t have to read his book (in fact we advise you not to) but there\u2019s plenty of information online and courses that help you develop your negotiation skills.<\/p>\n One of the things that many businesses complain about graduates or school leavers is their lack of commercial understanding. If you really want to impress at your next interview, try learning what it takes to run a business \u2013 to succeed you need to understand where the organisation you\u2019re applying to fits in the world. An entrepreneurial state of mind is important now more than ever.<\/p>\n It may not sound like a skill but it is. Most people used to add somewhere on their\u00a0CV\u00a0that they were good at working on their own or as a member of a team. But working with other people can often be difficult and stressful. Learning how to build positive relationships at work and understanding team dynamics is important.<\/p>\n Most businesses nowadays want employees who can operate under their own initiative or come up with solutions to daily problems. If you want to get into management or boost your career chances, better problem solving is definitely a key skill to develop.<\/p>\n In addition, to solve any problem you need to have the right organisational skills whether you\u2019re getting an urgent task done for the boss or undertaking a major change in your office. Do you understand time and project management intimately? Now might be the time to find out what it means.<\/p>\n Again, these might not seem like skills you can learn, but they are. Coping with the stress at work can come from experience and putting yourself in high pressure situations. Motivation can be developed and boosted by making sure that your goals are achievable. All of these can mean you\u2019re calm under pressure and someone employers can depend on to get the job done.<\/p>\n Another skill that is greatly appreciated in the work environment is confidence. It\u2019s something that comes with success and achieving what you need to do. Can you develop confidence for jobs that you\u2019ve no experience of? Of course you can. And, if you walk into an interview with confidence, it may well mean the difference between success and failure.<\/p>\n Not all the above are easy to achieve. But developing these key personal skills can certainly enhance how you appear to potential employers and enhance your future job prospects. Take some time out to work on these aspects of your character and you won\u2019t be disappointed. It could be the start of a whole new and bright future, and land you a\u00a0new job in Brighton and Hove<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re planning to move your career forward next year, there are plenty of skills that you need to develop.
