Post Graduate Certificate in Management & Development
What Employers look for...
When applying for jobs, no matter what your
subject of study, employers always look at the personal qualities a candidate
can bring to the organisation, which is why it is so important to develop them
ASAP!!
Leadership and management skills are some
of the most commonly required skills that employers list on their job
descriptions, and in today’s competitive climate you need to tick all the boxes
to be in with a shout. Organisations (no
matter how big or small) are looking for employees to come to the table with
fresh ideas, have the leadership skills to get people on board then the
management skills to see it through. This is why there is much need for undergraduate
placements and graduate schemes, as students are current and understand the industry,
bringing new ideas and suggestions which keep organisations relevant in today’s
business environment.
The reality...
It is all fine and well stating that
employers look for these skills, but how do you show you possess them if this is
your first job and you have no ‘work experience’ to relate your skills back to?
Many interviews and application forms feature the question ‘can you tell me
about a time you demonstrated.....’ If you have no experience it can be
extremely difficult to prove to employers that you possess these skills.
Personal Experience...
I am an undergraduate currently studying at
Northumbria university (business school) and I have seen many cases of fantastic
students who do possess such skills and have a lot of potential , but have been
turned down for jobs as they have no experience to prove they have demonstrated these skills.
When
it came to our second year (I am in my final year now) and we all
began applying frantically for industrial placements, a friend of mine
made it
to every interview stage but was turned down for 11 jobs. None of us
could
understand why, as he is an exceptional student making good grades and
his CV stood out enough to get an interview, but he didn’t
have the evidence to support his claims when asnwering the employers
questions. Employers very rarely take risks when
it comes to recruitment which meant typically students with work
experience or
evidence that they have studied these skills through their modules were
successful when applying for placements.
So how do you gain evidence that you have
leadership and management skills if you don’t study a topic which covers these
areas and if it is your first job......?
