SKILLS REQUIRED IN DIFFERENT JOBS The personal skills required in very different jobs are surprisingly similar, with just a few differences in the level of ski ll required. Almost every professional job requires you to have good VERBAL or WRITTEN COMMUNICATION skills, and will require you to be able to CO-OPERATE with other people. Employers will assess these skills at every stage of your application. Let's look at some examples, starting with teaching as it is a job everyone has some familiarity with. TEACHERS obviously need to be good at TEACHING, INSTRUCTING and MAKING PRESENTATIONS, but they also need to have good LISTENING skills to understand the problems a pupil may be having. They need to be able to ANALYSE (for example) the reasons why a potentially bright student is not making progress, to have good WRITING skills, and be able to PLAN the next terms work. BANK MANAGERS also need good WRITING skills , for example when drafting a letter to reply to the complaint of a customer. They need to be good LISTENERS to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff when a customer is asking for a large loan. They have to be PERSUASIVE when trying to persuade a local company to bank with them rather than a competitor bank, and to be able to both DIRECT and CO-OPERATE with their staff. They need to be good at ANALYSING information and MAKING DECISIONS when, as above, deciding whether or not to make a loan, and of course they need to be NUMERATE, but GCSE maths is probably sufficient here. POLICE OFFICERS need good VERBAL and WRITTEN COMMUNICATION skills to work with the public, write reports and present evidence in court. They need to be able to MAKE DECISIONS, often split-second, to INVESTIGATE and to CO-OPERATE with colleagues and other agencies. LEADERSHIP is an essential quality for even the most junior police officer - the public expects the police to take charge at, for example, the scene of a road accident - and becomes even more important at more senior levels, such as Inspector, where PLANNING and ORGANISING are also vital skills. RESEARCH SCIENTISTS must be able to ANALYSE the results of experiments and be competent in WRITING reports about the procedures they have used and the results obtained. They usually work in teams and therefore need to CO-OPERATE with other people. On occasions they have to GIVE PRESENTATIONS to groups of people and as they progress within a company, they may have to LEAD a team and PLAN their schedule of work over a given period of time.

Communicate, co-operate, instruct, listen, analyze, plan, make decision
