Content

If you want to be successful in the world of work, you need to develop the ability to work with others. There are very few jobs out there where you won’t need at least some level of interaction with other people, whether that be colleagues or customers, so making this one of your top skills is vital.
As well as equipping you for going into the workplace, these skills are totally transferable too, so you’ll be able to use them in your everyday life with friends and family.
Being able to demonstrate this will enhance your employability and through this playlist you’ll gain an understanding of collaboration, communication, adaptability and networking… all making up a top team player’s toolbox.

Content

When you’re entering the world of work, networking can be a great way to build connections and find new opportunities for employment and self development. Networking doesn’t necessarily mean going to ‘networking events’ but rather its the people you meet along the way and how you develop and maintain those relationships. You’ll need to think about who could help you and how you might be able to help them, plus consider how you present yourself, and make a connection and a great first impression.
