Job Skills to list on your Resume

1.Professionalism.

Deals with acting in a responsible and fair manner in all your personal and work activities, which is seen as a sign of maturity and self-confidence; avoid being petty.

2.Honesty and Integrity.

Employers probably respect personal integrity more than any other value, especially in light of the many recent corporate scandals.

3.Adaptability.

Deals with openness to new ideas and concepts, to working independently or as part of a team, and to carrying out multiple tasks or projects.

4.Problem-solving.

Employers seek jobseekers who love what they do and will keep at it until they solve the problem and get the job done.

5.Dependability/Reliability/Responsibility.

There’s no question that all employers desire employees who will arrive to work every day — on time — and ready to work, and who will take responsibility for their actions.

6.Loyalty.

Employers want employees who will have a strong devotion to the company — even at times when the company is not necessarily loyal to its employees.

7.Positive Attitude/Motivation/Energy/Passion.

The jobseekers who get hired and the employees who get promoted are the ones with drive and passion — and who demonstrate this enthusiasm through their words and actions.

8.Self-Motivated/Ability to Work Without Supervision.

While teamwork is always mentioned as an important skill, so is the ability to work independently, with minimal supervision.

9.Willingness to Learn.

No matter what your age, no matter how much experience you have, you should always be willing to learn a new skill or technique. Jobs are constantly changing and evolving, and you must show an openness to grow and learn with that change.

10.Leadership/Management Skills.

While there is some debate about whether leadership is something people are born with, these skills deal with your ability to take charge and manage your co-workers.

11.Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness.

There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and jobseekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures.

12.Planning and Organization.

Deals with your ability to design, plan, organize, and implement projects and tasks within an allotted timeframe. Also, involves goal-setting.

14.Teamwork.

Because so many jobs involve working in one or more work-groups, you must have the ability to work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal.
