Employment Communication for Job Applicants

By Exforsys | on January 2, 2009 |
Business Communication

Employment Communication

Employment communication plays an important role between an applicant and the employer, the question what is employment communication? Employment communication is a conversation you have with an employer. For example you have an interview for a job you have applied, you show up, the interview starts by asking several basic questions such as what is your age, name, history, etc.

Later the employer approaches you with more profound questions such as what qualities do you have that will be suitable for the job position you have applied? And why should I hire you? From the beginning of the communication to the end is what is considered an employment communication. Why should employment communication be considered important?

The Importance of Employment Communication

Imagine if an employer where to just hire people randomly without knowing if the person qualifies for the position or not. Unfortunately the risk will be extremely high, resulting to a lot of disapprovals and end up wasting a lot of time to fix the situation by retraining the person.

For example, if the person who the employer chose to randomly hire without an interview, where to be unfamiliar and inexperienced with the tasks that are given, then obviously the result would be dramatic in a negative perspective.

Now if the employer sat down to a conversation such as an interview to question the person applying for the job, then it would be more of a possibility that the employer would hire someone that would best fit the available position.

This is why it is important for employment communication to be present since it is beneficial for the employer. Employment communication is very important for an employer as it is for an applicant. How is it important for an applicant?

First of all employment communication should be seen in a positive action for the reason being that it is an opportunity to express yourself. For the applicant, it would be an opportunity since the applicant can explain his or her skills that are suitable for the position. First of all you want to know what an employer will be looking in a job applicant.

Types of Employment Communication

You want to let the employer know that you are the best for the job, first you take in deep consideration and work on the following skill an employer will seek for employment.

• Strong work Ethic
• Time management skills
• Problem solving skills
• Communication skills
• Computer skills (familiar with programs and software)

Strong Work Ethic: Are you reliable? Can an employer depend on you? And are you self motivated? These are by any means what are considered to be strong work ethic. You want to be reliable as you want to be dependable, you also want to push yourself to always improve your work, and such motivation will certainly help you achieve goal and progress with the company.

Time management skills: Time management skill is how well you manage your schedule, ask yourself can I plan and follow a schedule? Remember that a management skill is very important and critical for any profession.

For instance, a doctor performing surgery must follow a schedule in order to accomplish the surgery, if not the results can be drastic and can lead to an unfortunate tragedy. A company who depends a lot on production, managing a schedule is very critical. Imagine if the company’s employees did not follow the schedule, it is for certain that the sales would drop.

Problem solving skills: Remember solving math equations in algebra class? Well this is where all those assignments pay off. Problem solving is very critical in business, an employer will want someone who can be independent, capability to detect a problem, brainstorm a solution in a timed matter and have the skill to implement them.

This will definitely prove to the employer that you are dependable no matter the circumstances since the having the ability to solve problem is a big plus in a business.

Communication Skills: In business, communication is always used, from working with a customer to speaking to your supervisor. Thus is important the applicant haves good communication skills. In communication skills, an employer will see if you have the skill to persuade a customer into purchase a product, or the skill to satisfy the customer’s needs, such as implementing useful information that will satisfy the customer.

Also an employer will see if you are capable of explaining in a manner that will not cause any misunderstandings. Explaining things clearly is a necessary skill since the information you offer may be important but it is even more important that it is understood.

Computer Skills: Ever since the computer was invented, the computer has been the primary tool to many companies. Computers have simplified the work and with the internet the computer has help reduce time spent to make a search, as to help communicate with others from a distant.

Since the computer is now the modern and most significant tool in our century it is important to be familiar with a computer and its function. The knowledge of working with a computer is an extremely important skill that an employer will seek for in an applicant.

Application

In order to have these necessary skills you may want to consider taking courses on these subjects. All of the skills mentioned above are built throughout years and the best place where you are given the opportunity to expand these skills is in your very own middle school or high school. These skills will only expand if you invest the time to build these skills; practice is the number one key to achieve a skill.

You can also improve these skills other than middle school and high school, by attending college courses, in college these skills are often applied and forced in order to complete the class. Another way you can improve a skill is by practicing with your friends and family doing research.

A skill you would like to practice with your family and friends is communication skills, sometimes communicating with strangers can be a factor since intimidation and shyness comes in as an obstacle, but communicating with older family members and friends or even someone who you are not really relatively close, will certainly help you overcome such fear and without question help you gain confidence in yourself.
