TAGbits – Simple Advice, Monday, March 16, 2015

I was recently asked to speak in my son’s classroom about what colleges want to see in students and what employers want when hiring. I did a bit of research on what colleges want and presented that. My main focus was what employers want for their employees because I hear daily what they do not want. Many of my clients are frustrated with their young hires. Oddly, I wrote about this last March. But I need to go over it again. So, young people heed this simple advice because it will help you get and hold on to a job.

Ethics –

Show up on time, ready to work, and get the work done. Don’t mess around on your social media all day. You are there to work, and you are getting paid for it. It’s unethical to accept a paycheck for no work.

Initiative –

Or the ability to act on your own. Figure it out and get it done. Don’t use the excuse, “No one told me how to do it.” If you do not know how to do something, ask and listen to the answer.

Communication –

Most importantly, good communication skills. Speak and write in complete sentences. Don’t write and speak in “text talk” or acronyms. Look at people when they are talking to you, so they know you are listening.

Good manners and social skills –

Learn how to shake hands. Be polite and kind. Do not cuss at work; it is not professional. Put your phone down when talking to a co-worker and engage in the conversation.

I know you are reading this and thinking, really? You’d be surprised. I hear from my clients daily that these young workers lack these basic, simple skills. We might be in a digital age, but you need to learn how to engage with the people around you and do it well unless you are programming all day.
