In this session we evaluated the 10 key competences, these competences are Personal management, communication, managing information, research and analysis, project, task and organizational skills, team work, commitment to quality, professional behaviour, social responsibility and continuous learning.
These competences are key elements that employers look out for when recruiting, it is very important to demonstrate these competences during interviews. The video below explains briefly what competencies are.
Using the competencies discussed in today's session will benefit every student. I identified the meaning and ways to develop these skills effectively during this session. A personal management skill, according to an author refers to the ability of oneself to exercise control over one’s attitude, behaviour and motivation (Simon Oates, Management-Expert.co.uk). Examples of personal management skills include: Self-Discipline, Motivation, Time Management, Emotional Stability, Strategic Thinking, Analytical Mind, Intelligence, and Ethics.
Communication skills; this is when a broad range of communication styles is being used and choosing the appropriate, effective ways to communicate to different audiences in diverse situations. Managing information is the practice of critical thinking, organizing, storing, and sharing vital information, so that everyone can benefit from its use.
