When organisations recruit new staff, they look for the skills and personal qualities the job requires. They then look for evidence of these skills during the application and interview process. To provide this evidence, you will need to understand the skills you possess and where you might have used them before. This could be in your studies, in any work experience and in your life generally.

It’s also useful to add to your skills whilst still at University which provides you with many opportunities to develop and enhance your existing ones. These include specific academic skills and knowledge related to your degree as well as generic skills such as communication, interview skills, problem solving, self-confidence, team work, stress management, time management,conflict management, decision-making, and analytical thinking. You can develop these skills through presentation, activities and games based on real case study, making you even more attractive to employers.
