How to be valued employee?

Within this video are a few attributes that are valued by future employers

There are many things that employers will be looking at when you apply for a job, and throughout this section I intend to tell you how to make yourself a valued employee. Below are some of the key aspects that people will look for when they are trying to find someone for a job.

• Punctuality- This is one of the key attributes that an employer will take into account about someone. Being punctual means that you are consistently on time to all manner of things, whether meetings or general work every day.  Being punctual also means that you complete all your work on time, which is key in the IT business as you need to have everything done on time.
• Teamwork- Another key attribute for any potential employee is your ability to work in a team. In an IT this may not seem as important, considering most people imagine the only thing that will interact with is a computer, but there are areas where teamwork is highly needed. In areas such as Game Design there are many different roles which need to be completed which would be too much for one person, so it is key to work in a team here.
• Communication- There are many different ways that you communicate in a work environment, such as through the written reports, or by verbal presentations etc. Speaking clearly when talking to other clients or colleagues is something that is important. When you are typing up a report or E-mail, you must be careful with grammar and spelling.
• Organisation- People who are organised will look better in the eyes of an employer, and it will help you keep on track of all the work set out for you.
• Technical skill- In a IT centred job you would be expected to have a good range of IT and the motivation to adapt to use more software that could possibly be more complicated.
• Hard working- People who do all the work they are meant to and more will be more valuable to the employer than others who do the bare minimum.
