"Those SKILLS, Though!": Teach your students what skills employers are looking for and help them with their resume!

19/1/2015

It's coming up to that time of year where your students might be looking at getting work experience, or even looking for real jobs! Either way, they need to ensure their resume/CV (depending on where you are in the world!) is up to date and they have the skills needed to be the best person for the job.

We know competition out there is rife. Students tend to swan about taking everything in their stride assuming that it will all work out in the end, but we know it's not always that easy in the 'Real World'. We need to teach our students that they must be fully equipped with the skills needed to stand out and be the best version of themselves that they can be!

So, here are my top tips to help your students brush up on their skills!
1) Encourage your students to reflect on all the skills that they think employers are looking for. (It is quite an extensive list when you do your research...! Fortunately, I've included loads of them in the resource below to save you lots of time!)
2) Reflect on which of these skills they are already demonstrating and evidence where.
3) Encourage students to think about what skills their chosen career path expects of them.
4) Reflect on which of these skills they currently possess, which they need to brush up on and how they can go about doing that.

The sooner this is done the better, as it will give your students a chance to sharpen any skills where they are lacking while they are still young! For example, if a student's attendance has been an issue recently but they don't see the problem with the odd days off (that mount up!), perhaps this might be the jolt the student needs to realize that actually, that skill is vital to future employers!

If you want an easy to follow PowerPoint presentation with worksheets that correlate perfectly to guide them through identifying and building on their skills, then you should definitely have a look at this resource! (Titled with current teen lingo: "Those skills though!". As I always say, it's important to use resources current to our students' world to keep them enthused and relevant!).

My students gained a great deal from this resource and they found writing their resumes a piece of cake as they were able to easily identify skills they have and evidence them with ease thanks to the written activities. They also obtained a wide variety of skills and vocabulary in their resumes which helps them stand out from the crowd!
