Companies are aware of the importance of having employees whose professional profile adapts to the demands of the market. Although this generation of young people has been dubbed "the best prepared in history", the truth is that not all of them have the necessary skills to get a job according to their education.

To shed light on this question, what skills do recruiters look for in a candidate, Forbes magazine has compiled a list highlighting the professional skills that make them stand out from the rest.

1) Teamwork

Recruitment managers attach great importance to the need for workers to be able to work comfortably side by side with other colleagues or departments within the corporation

3) Effective communication

Companies demand professionals capable of verbally communicating with personnel inside and outside the organization.

4) Organization

Those who demonstrate ability to plan and prioritize tasks will be more likely to get the job that interests them.

5) Analysis and processing of information

The saying "knowledge is power" already says it; For this reason, professionals who demonstrate the ability to select and determine what content is of interest will be highly valued in the labor market.

6) Analysis of quantitative data

The figures are part of the daily dynamics of any company. Those who show themselves with the ability to process data will get the attention of the employers.

7) Technical knowledge related to work

Once out of the classroom, the theory takes a back seat leaving the role to the practical part. Extra points will be obtained by those who accumulate technical knowledge on what the activity to be developed consists of.

Although the business activity is not the sale, those professionals who know how to manage the image of the corporation and how to position it in the market will be taken into account, while being able to persuade and influence people is a huge asset when it comes to working your way up the professional ladder.
