Communication and behavioral skills

Many students today lack communication and behavioral skills due to the lack of critical thinking in the learning environment, leading to a passive state and a reluctance to communicate with strangers. Meanwhile, communication skills are the door that opens up opportunities and good relationships for oneself.

To practice communication and behavior skills, you need to speak with a sincere and natural attitude; do not suddenly become silent, speak vaguely, or act secretive; speak concisely and to the point; keep a moderate distance when communicating; if you cannot tell the truth, do not try to lie.

Teamwork skills

Teamwork is an equally important skill in the learning and working process of both students and employees. Teamwork helps you develop your inherent strengths. At the same time, this skill also inspires creativity and improves work efficiency.

However, most students today have too big an ego (thinking they are good, not willing to listen or support others). Then when they start working, they realize that in a professional working environment, to be successful, they need the support of many people.

Presentation skills

Presentation skills play an important role in interviews, work and study. People with good presentation skills can easily make a good impression on employers. Possessing presentation skills will help students improve their opportunities for self-development, improve their confidence and courage.

In addition, with this skill, you can overcome the barrier of fear of crowds and be confident enough to present your presentation content fluently, interestingly, and impressively. To achieve this, you need to practice, learn, and practice as well as gain experience for yourself every day.

Time management skills

Many students do not know how to manage their time, leading to a situation of "waiting until the last minute", seriously affecting their learning outcomes. If you do not change and improve your time management skills, you will certainly be under great pressure at work in the future.

To practice time management skills, you must first define clear goals, list the tasks that need to be done, arrange them in order of priority, summarize the work and finally set a specific time for each task. Once you have a roadmap, absolutely do not delay, be determined to carry out until the set goal is completed.

Decision making and problem solving skills

When faced with choices in life, work, study, etc., we need to know how to analyze and make appropriate decisions to best solve problems. However, making decisions is not always easy.

The vast majority of students, when faced with problems, instead of finding a solution, will find ways to blame and avoid responsibility. The ability and skills to handle problems on their own gradually "wither", and the opportunity for advancement at work becomes more limited.

To improve this skill, you need to identify your weaknesses; accumulate knowledge about the industry/field in charge; regularly build situations and practice; always remember the problem-solving process; look for opportunities to solve problems; observe and learn from people around you.

Ability to work under pressure

Work pressure is one of the biggest challenges for new graduates. Because at this time you are very likely to encounter problems at work, missed deadlines, pressure from customers, bosses, colleagues, ...

Therefore, you should practice this skill right now by working part-time or participating in big projects to gradually adapt to the pressure.
