Introduction

In this assignment I am assuming that I am junior employee at LeyTech and tasked to prepare a comprehensive blog explaining a typical employer will be looking for in the workers.

The aim is to be able to produce a blog giving:

• General information about attributes collected from various books, magazines and the internet.
• Discussion of the results carrying out personal real life details of how someone’s career had developed.

Task 1:  Explain the personal attributes valued by employers.

For this section I have done internet research and looked at our BTEC book. I have combined my findings from both these sources.

   1. Attitudes

1.1 Self-motivation

Self-motivation is the ability to do what needs to be done without influence or huge supervision from other people or situations.

Self-motivation is a very important achievable goal because it shows that you want to do something and you have the capacity to do by yourself and no one needs to say anything.

For example to show motivation as a junior employee, I have to do a blog and the owner is expecting a good self-motivation from me because he knows that I am able to do an excellent blog without influence from other members of the staff. Also I will do things that the owner isn't expecting from me because I have an attitude and I am serious in this job.

1.2 Leadership Skills

Leadership is the ability to lead and motivate a group of people or an organisation with the sane goal.

If the employee has the capacity to give orders to people and the members of staff respect him, it is a good signal. Also leader should be able to identify people’s weakness and problems.

If I need help with the job, I can ask other people to help which means I have to be responsible and good enough to make them work with me and they have to cooperate with me because they know I have the ability to make them work very well.

1.3 Independence

Independence is the ability to work by yourself.

For example to show independence, as a worker, you will have to do a blog which means I have to be able to produce a good work by yourself and on time. By having independence I can make my own decisions however they need to be the best for the blog. The owner is expecting something unique and the context of the blog have to be good and I have to find good material such as images, opinions and information.

   2. General: attributes an employer is looking in an employee

2.1 Team Working

Team working is when you work with others people and you are able to share your knowledge with your colleagues. However some people prefer to work by themselves because they do better work when they are isolate

Being a member of a team brings a lot of responsibilities because you have to cooperate with others people, all members of the team has to work together but at the same time by themselves because sometimes, people divide the work to be easier

2.2 Creativity

Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something.

For example to show creativity, I can create unique blog with information that no one else has. Also I need to have the ability to find the solutions to problem using my logical, creativity and past experiences along with secondary data from books, internet, newspapers and magazines.

2.3 Communication Skills

Communication is the impacting of information by speaking or writing.

Communications is a very important attributes because without speak the language of the country, you can't find a job or alternatively you can find a job however it will be in cleaning area. By having an excellent communication, I will be able to make a good blog with writing that the audience will understand. Also this job will require good knowledge of IT such as how to use hardware and software and if I know about it I will get the job as junior employee at LeyTech.
