1
The 21st century workplace is constantly changing.
2
In many countries, the idea of a career for life is long gone.
3
What employers want are skills that can be applied to a range of tasks and roles.
4
As a result, they look for flexible people who can demonstrate transferable professional skills
5
as well as personal qualities that will benefit the company.
6
Here's an insider's guide to the skills and qualities
7
that will get you hired and also help you survive in today's job market.
8
A large part of the academic experience is based around individual performance.
9
In business, however, things are quite different.
10
You need to develop a range of transferable skills.
11
And one thing that many recruiters put at the top of their list is the ability to work in teams.
12
I would look at can this candidate fit into the team well?
13
Do they work well with people?
14
Are they passionate about the topic?
15
Do they think outside of the box?
16
The employers value team working skills very highly indeed.
17
So if you're studying, it's really important you try and get some experience.
18
Now, obviously an internship is an ideal way to do this,
19
but you can also do it through part-time jobs,
20
through vacation work, through voluntary work,
21
or helping with societies and clubs while you're at university.
22
Your experience at school is really, really important.
23
So if you played in a team, guess what?
24
You're a team player.
25
You set goals, you can achieve.
26
21st century careers involve a lot of movement,
27
not just between jobs, but also between industries and countries.
28
It's no good if your skill set locks you into one industry or even into one company.
29
And this is where flexibility is important.
30
Be prepared to develop attributes that are transferable across sectors so you can make the best moves for your career.
31
I'm talking about things like critical thinking,
32
which means analysing information very carefully,
33
communication skills, problem solving, being able to influence people.
34
Make sure you work on your communication skills,
35
in person, on paper, face-to-face,
36
in small groups, in large groups.
37
You'll need to do this wherever you work,
38
whatever job it is, across all sectors,
39
communication skills are absolutely key.
40
Employers are not just hiring a package of skills,
41
they're hiring a person and it's personal qualities that are of key importance.
42
Honesty, flexibility, enthusiasm.
43
These things matter a lot. Be passionate.
44
If you're really going to apply to a company that you're interested in,
45
make sure your passion comes through and be genuine and authentic about that passion.
46
You're going to work hard,
47
you're going to play hard,
48
but you have to be passionate to be successful.
49
It's their own determination that's going to get them a job.
50
Right?
51
Employers, you know, are going to look at them,
52
not necessarily for their skills that they may have but for the passion that they may,
53
you know, express.
54
Convince them that you have integrity,
55
you know, integrity is is very important obviously and convince them
56
that you have ability that you will do everything you can to make that job work.
57
If you are motivated and have a can-do attitude you will get wherever you want.
58
So to sum up our Insider's Guide you need professional skills that can transfer from one job to another,
59
especially the ability to be a good team player.
60
Don't forget that employers look at the person behind the CV
61
or resume to identify the personal qualities they value in the workplace.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
