There are many desperate people out there who have thought out about some idea to actualize it into reality for their survival (Self-preservation and self-gratification) and they don’t have all what it takes to make it come to pass. They even have a cost/price budget or they can and are prepared to make one that can fit the one that can prove that he/she can offer it proficiently and with expert skill.
This is the essence of the fitting into the advertised job and not just qualified for the job. You must prove that you have what it takes to do to achieve what the client exactly needs. Remember that your employer is your client and he/she has a need-void to be filled.
What does this mean to you as a potential employee?
- You need to identify the client with a definite defined void-need which you are sure you can fill using the known knowledge, skill, ability (aptitude) and your positive attitude.
- You need to identify what exactly is missing to be complete the need-void and what of your relevant aptitude and attitude are required to do the job.
- Remember that you have more than what every employer needs. That is why at school, you have been taught more than every employer needs.
- It is therefore important that you select only what is urgently needed and valued for the now identified employer/client. That is what will be paid for, and not for your qualifications, but what you will offer as required by them! The clients and employers are always looking for specifics and not generalities of your academic education.
- You therefore need to cluster and perfect your packages of taskable knowledge and skills for doing specific jobs. Clients and employers are looking for someone that can do tasks of jobs and deliver expected results. You should therefore review and reorganize your education into viable task clusters, which should fit many problem-solving occupations out there. You are only made to do only one task offered by one employer; can do more and many tasks. Find them out.
- Remember that any educated person should be a multi-task worker, multi-employable person, multi-skilled expert, multi-problem solver and multi-useful person . It is therefore important that you know this fact and in fact keep on developing and improving your marketable skills, abilities, and attitudes to stay employable or needed to perform payable services. You should always be asking yourself what tasks can you perform extremely well to earn a price/reward/ salary /payment for? If you have any, then improve it to the level of cutting edge or competitive edge, where by you are either the only one or among the few that can do it to utmost perfection.
- Remember that as you perfect your taskable skills and abilities, your attitude will matter a lot. A worker with the right Aptitide+attitude = Acceptable and worth performing worker. You can be good in the skill performance, but very rotten in your attitude, i.e. the way you react to your circumstantial situations. conditions, events and experiences (opportunities). Most people look for positive attitude than anything else. Everyone can do something, but not everyone can respond in the acceptable and positive way to all situations. Your attitude will determine your altitude, and not your skills and education only! Many people spend their lifetime gathering knowledge through education of all kinds, but very little of positive attitude, which is the most essential for ones survival.
- Attitude is the ability to react to situations. This can be negatively or positively. Each of these reactions lead to certain predictable results. Each of them is causality to different effects. That is why your attitude will determine the conditions, events and experiences that will be contributive, conducive, and supportive to your success. Attitude can be developed and perfected to affect your general life.
