The Final Top Three.

After much consideration and thinking I have decided on my top three. Of course, It wasn't an individual effort. Using the comments section I was able to use others feedback to help make my decision. So my top three are.

1. Spelling and Grammar.

2. Adapting to suit and Audience.

3. Technical Knowledge.

The Top Three Skills. Do you agree or disagree?

After discussing what skills would be best for my top three I have decided what my top three should be.

They are...

1. Spelling and Grammar.

2. Adapting to suit and Audience.

3. Technical Knowledge.

Do you guys agree with this?

Whether to include spelling and grammar.

After looking and replying to the comments of my previous blog post I am torn between whether to change one of my top three to spelling and grammar or not. I would just like to see what all of you would suggest I do, I could add it and replace one of my original skills or leave my skills as they are. I may even change one of my top skills to something else. But for now I would just like to know what you guys think on adding spelling and grammar

Thanks!

The top three skills that can be used in ICT.

In the ICT workplace there are a variety of skills that can be helpful and also useful which make you a valued employer. In my opinion, the top three skills which are valuable in the workplace are...

Confidence

Being confident in the IT industry means you are not afraid to try new things or attempt solutions that someone who lacks confidence would be too cautious to try. For example, having your first attempt at fixing a component of a computer with enough confidence to not back away, and have the idea that you will be able to do it well.

Adapting to suit an audience

If you are addressing a certain audience like a large group or maybe even some children, the language you use and the way you speak will greatly affect how engaged they are. Adapting your tone of voice with a large crowd will mean they will be able to hear you better, and if you are speaking to a specific group, like children, the language you use should suit what the audience will understand and take in. This menas that with this example, children you use simple language. An example of this would be when talking to a customer, you should use the type of language you think they’ll understand, such as an old person, you would speak with little technical speech as they wouldn’t understand it. This is valued in the IT industry as if you are talking to somebody who is not knowledgeable with computers, you would use simple language and use barely any ICT related jargon which they wont understand.

Accuracy

This means that you are able and willing to not use just plain facts when speaking to anyone, if it’s a colleague or an audience. You should include both opinions and other types of speech to engage your audiences. You should also be able to bend the truth but no blatantly lie so whatever you are speaking about is more appealing. This skill can be used in the IT industry when making a presentation about your work, for example. Talking about your work with only facts may get boring so making your speech a bit more lively, you would add opinions. This will make your audience listen  This is valued by an employer as it shows you are able to use your opinions to make decisions for you and potentially your colleagues.
