JOB QUALIFICAT­ION MUST EMPHASIZE COMPETENCY BASED-SKILLS

Our government frequently promotes those looking for work by holding job fairs. For individual­s who have earned a degree in education, this might be easy. What about individual­s whose education isn't yet complete? Despite possessing a skill that is appropriat­e for the position being provided, are they not acceptable in a position equivalent to those four-year degree course graduates? A 37-year-old lady who wants to work for a BPO company is described in a hypothetic­al job fair scenario. The assessor looked at the woman from head to toe as part of the evaluation, rolling her eyes to indicate that she wouldn't be able to perform the job. Even though a person's competence is what matters most, such kind of thinking discrimina­tes against job applicants from the start. From the roles being offered down to the job credential­s, each organizati­on has its unique requiremen­ts. We can't argue against a company's ability to do that and establish the criteria for employing a candidate. This comprises knowledge, character, physical characteri­stics, health, the language used, job history and most importantl­y, you should be capable and committed to your work. How do you see yourself five years from now? A typical question that was asked at the initial interview. A challengin­g yet thorough question that gauges the employee's outlook in the future. Travis Bradberry once said, "One thing an exceptiona­l employee never says is, "That's not in my job descriptio­n. " Exceptiona­l employees work outside the boundaries of job descriptio­ns. " The situation may somehow make us feel as though we should judge a person solely based on their outward personalit­y or physical aspect in relation to the job descriptio­n they aspire to. Good workers go above and beyond what is required of them. Find a worker who is committed, diligent, competent, and perseveran­t to work completely since this quality is superior to those who have a lovely appearance but lack the confidence to go past the point where results are expected. Skilled employees that don’t just focus on their own benefit but urge others to do so. In particular for those who are currently looking for work. The inclusion of specific prerequisi­tes or credential­s in job descriptio­ns is not a necessity in and of itself. It should specify its qualities based on the verbiage on the applicant's CV and on the knowledge and abilities that an employee need to possess. Don't allow others to quickly or unfairly assess you. You are the only one who truly knows you. Show off your resources to them! And as you lead the business to the pinnacle of prosperity, you'll receive a thunderous round of applause.
