Key workskills - Rosie Bingham

No one believes in a job for life any more. Job security and career success now depend on having a range of key skills that can be adapted to different working environments. Key WorkSkills will enable you to develop those key skills that are common to almost any type of professional, managerial or administrative employment. - - The book uses an interactive approach which has been extensively tested, and has proved to be particularly effective at building on existing skills and developing new ones. Each chapter examines a particular skill and takes you through a process to help you with a task in hand that requires that skill. This enables you to learn on the job, applying your new skills in your own work setting. It also helps you to improve for the future. - - As your career develops, the ability to demonstrate an awareness of the skills you possess is essential. This book will provide you with the tools to do this and, in the process, will help you to improve both your day-to-day work and your effectiveness. - - Key WorkSkills covers five of the six skills* identified as Key Skills by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority (QCA), namely: - -
Communication -
Working with numbers -
Working with others -
Improving own learning and performance -
Problem solving - - so using this book can help you towards a Key Skills qualification. - - *The sixth Key Skill is Information Technology - whilst this book refers to IT, it does not attempt to cover such a large skill area in depth.
