Regardless of the format, you choose for your resume, don’t just restrict employability skills to your skills section. Mention duties and accomplishments in your work history section that show your expertise with these skills and the results they achieved.
Employability skills are important regardless of your profession, and can help you stand out in a competitive job market. Even if they don’t list them as a requirement, employers will always welcome candidates who possess the skills to be competent, critical-thinking team players.
You can improve your employability skills by looking over the list of key skills above, singling out a few skills to focus on, and then looking for learning opportunities to improve them, both at work and in other situations. Some examples of learning opportunities to improve your employability skills are advancing your education by getting a formal degree or certification. You can also partake in local industry networking events or industry training courses to sharpen your professional skills. While at work, you can improve your employability skills by voluntarily taking on new job assignments that are out of your comfort zone, as they provide the perfect opportunity for you to hone your professional skills and refine them. Create a list of objectives and goals for improving your existing skills before you start your professional self-improvement journey. Make sure to periodically review and assess your improvements along the way.
You can demonstrate your employability skills during an interview by being enthusiastic, positive, and using examples from previous jobs to prove you’re a problem-solver, have good communication abilities, and that you are a team player.
