    Local and Global Work Demands


    The local and global markets today require skills and competencies that respond to the changing, multi-tasking, and highly
    demanding work environments. The completion for job search is high especially when there are more aspirants than opportunities.
    There are several factors that job seekers should pay attention to in order to successfully land good jobs.
    1. Education. In a world run by information, education is one of the key factors in acquiring employment that will offer competitive
    benefit package and intrinsic rewards. The higher one’s educational attainment is, the higher is his/her opportunity to get employed.
    Some big corporations favor job seekers with impressive educational background in their curriculum vitae because of the presumption
    that schools have trained them in time management, effective communication, collaboration or team effort, and acquisition,
    organization, and application of information.
    2. Employability. It is not enough that one finishes degree. He/she is expected to possess the skills required for a given position. There
    are instances when some candidates are rejected by employers because of the disparity between educational status and training and
    skills required for actual jobs. An applicant may be classified as underqualified if his/her skills are insufficient for the job or
    overqualified if his/her skills overwhelmingly exceed the minimum requirement.
    Special training, past employment experiences, and other unique qualifications can also bolster one’s employability since
    employers favor well-rounded candidates. Nonetheless, there are transferrable skills, which can be used in almost any work such as:
     Basic literacy skills- reading, writing and arithmetic; and
     21st century skills- can be summarized as 4s- communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking

    Job Profiles
    These refer to specific job guideless or role descriptions. Job profiles clarify employees’ duties, expectations, and even means of
    how they will be evaluated. For example, a marketing agent is informed before signing a contract with a company that he/she will be
    attending events in different locations. Likewise, a layout artist of a magazine is expected to render overtime work especially when
    rushing an issue due for release. In school, this translates to knowing what responsibilities a class president or a student council officer
    has. In general, an ideal job profile contains at least the following components:
    1. Recruitment. This explains the qualifications necessary for a job and the process an applicant undergoes before getting hired.
    2. Job description. This outlines the responsibilities of a worker.
    3. Compensation package. This specifies and employee’s wage or income including benefits and other privileges, if any.
    4. Workflow. This contains standard operating procedures on how a certain job is conducted in a day-to- basis.
    5. Criteria for evaluation. This may simply be in a form of a list of competencies or values or as comprehensive as an evaluation
    tool or instrument where an employee is rated based on certain grading criteria.
    One should continue learning because there is still so much to discover at his/her age. He/she might not have all the skills or
    abilities necessary for some occupations, but he/she does have an aptitude to learn new skills. Aptitude measures the ease with
    which one can learn something new. One can learn as much as he/she can.
