Introduction


     In my essay I will talk about the skills required to get a good job

nowadays.  There will be three main points I will be discussing such as academic,

personal management, and teamwork skills.  I will give you examples of these

skills, and reasons why this skill is important for you to get a job.


Academic Skills


     Academic skills are probably the most important skill you will need to

get a job.  It is one of the or the first thing an employer looks for in an

employee.  They are skills which give you the basic foundation to acquire, hold

on to, and advance in a job, and to achieve the best results.  Academic skills

can be further divided into three sub-groups; communication, thinking, and

learning skills.


     Communicate.  Communication skills require you to understand and speak

the languages in which business is conducted.  You must be a good listener, and

be able to understand things easily.  One of the most important communicating

skills would be reading, you should be able to comprehend and use written

materials including things such as graphs, charts, and displays.  One of the

newest things we can add to communicating skills would be the Internet, since it

is so widely used all around the world - you should have a good understanding of

what it is and how to use it.


     Think.  Thinking critically and acting logically to evaluate situations

will get you far in your job.  Thinking skills consists of things such as

solving mathematical problems, using new technology, instruments, tools, and

information systems effectively.  Some examples of these would be technology,

physical science, the arts, skilled trades, social science, and much more.


     Learn.  Learning is very important for any job.  For example, if your

company, gets some new software, you must be able to learn how to use it,

quickly and effectively after a few tutorials.  You must continue doing this for

the rest of your career.  It is one thing that will always be useful in any

situation, not just jobs.
