    Why Technical Skills Aren’t the Only Skills Needed to Land the Job

    By Anistar Technologies | Candidates, Employee Resources, Job Seekers | Comments are Closed | 17 January, 2019 | 1

    Organizations today want to hire forward-thinkers with enough knowledge to help them stay current on all the technological trends. However, too many candidates for IT security jobs focus solely on their technical expertise. These technical skills are no longer the only skills companies look for, since there is plenty of talent to select from. So when you’ve landed an interview and want to distinguish yourself from the other candidates, consider these tips.

    Be A Clear Communicator

    Communication is an overlooked skill for job applicants, but not for employers. Speaking clearly and concisely to an interviewer is important for many reasons. They want to know you have the technical vocabulary to be able to talk with people holding other electrical engineering positions, as well as have the ability to translate technical terms for people without the knowledge, like clients. While you may impress with your technical language, it could also be hurting your chances at landing the job at the same time.

    Study A Company’s Culture

    Companies also prioritize cultural fits when making their hiring decisions. Whether you’re looking for cyber security opportunities or other various IT security jobs, it’s important to do your research on the company to get a feel for their culture and beliefs. You may be the most knowledgeable professional in the world, but if you don’t fit into their big picture from a cultural aspect, then chances are you’ll get passed over for the job.

    Always Be Willing To Collaborate With Others

    Collaboration is critical whether you’re applying for electrical engineering positions or any other related position. Asking questions and collaborating isn’t a warning flag that you may not have the knowledge needed to excel at the position. Rather, it’s a positive sign that you work well with others and are always looking to sharpen your various skills.

    Demonstrate Your Go-Getter Attitude

    Versatility is another attribute companies look for in addition to technical skills. This simply means you have a wide range of expertise and you don’t have any problems with embracing different responsibilities. Having a positive attitude in this regard is valuable because an employer knows they can rely on you to handle jobs of any degree. Instead of making excuses as to why you may not be the most experienced, come up with a solution to get the job done the right way.

    Anistar Technologies works with companies across the country and has an extensive database of available jobs. We also work with job candidates who have specific skill sets and need a resource to help them find the perfect match. Technical skills are the backbone of any IT professional, but it’s the other miscellaneous skills that sets a candidate apart. If you’re in the market for a job in an IT-related field, be sure to contact us to find the perfect job fit.
