What employer want?

Change

• World is changing rapidly.

• Current students are likely to have as many as 11 career changes in their lives.

• People are likely to study for the rest of their lives.

• It is estimated that 70% jobs in 2020 have not been thought of yet.

Changes in the recent past

• WWW – webmaster as career, fulltime blogger?

• Mobile phones

• Nanotechnology

• Gene research

• Electronic communication

So employers are saying...

• They want people who have life skills

• They want people who have flexibility and think globally

• They want people who are prepared to study continuously

• They want people who can adapt to any environment

and...

• Globalisation exists at every level – world citizens

• Technological advances are moving at an alarming rate – medical, engineering, IT, (think iPhones)

• Acceptable practices which saw the wasting of resources are no longer acceptable.

• Soft skills are more important than ever.

Therefore, they prefer:

• Work experience over very high GPAs – better if you have both of course

• Any work experience where you can show your transferrable skills – bar tender/glassy/retail assistant/checkout chick/admin assistant??

• Community involvement

Because

• AAGE survey 2011: – Over 80% employers said that teamwork, oral

communication, interpersonal skills and problem solving skills were “very important competencies” in their selection process.

and– The median number of applicants for 2010

was 36– Behavioural based interviews were used by

90% of employers.

What will make graduates more competitive?

• Work Experience• Soft skills which they get from work

experience• Social experiences• Voluntary work experience• Community work

And the ability to think outside the box

• to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel, creative and smart thinking.

• The goal of the puzzle is to link all 9 dots using four straight lines or less, without lifting the pen.

The ‘nine dots’ puzzle.
