| So you’re trying to find your local and county jobs and you’re having trouble figuring out just what skills you should have in order to maximize your chances of getting the job. So you think about it, and you think about it, and you think about it…but you can’t seem to figure out what you should know how to do—what SHOULD you know how to do/have on your resume? First of all, you need to make sure that you have any qualifications up to date. It doesn’t matter if you got them ten years ago or if you got them twenty years ago—if you make sure that they are up to date, you not only help your employer or potential employer, but it shows that you are up to date on what the current information is regarding that particular skill. Next, you need to be computer literate—even if you’re never going to touch a computer. It looks good on any resume, especially in a world in which over half of our machinery is now operated by computers or people who know how to work computers. The point? Having computer skills indicates that you can further your knowledge even more—meaning that you might be able to learn how to work more machines and essentially make the company more efficient. People skills are also extremely important. If you cannot interact with the public, it means that you are in need of a job behind the scenes—which most of the time isn’t always available. If you have people skills, you are able to be promoted, moved around…pretty much, you can do anything. It may take a little bit of work to develop people skills, but it’s worth it in the end. Next, you need to be able to learn new things—and be willing to take the time and maybe even pay to learn a new skill as well. It may seem like a bit much, considering you’re trying to get a new job…but new skills also open up other opportunities for local and county jobs. When you are looking for local and county jobs, you have to be willing to really think about the job that you want. Thinking skills are very important and help you to really examine what a company wants—and what you have to offer. You also need to be able to really think about your skills, especially those that you already have. You may not realize, but a lot of the skills that you have are actually a lot more useful than you might think. Also, consider the experience you might have as you search through the job ads. You need to be able to find a job that you can do well—and one that you’ll be able to enjoy, to some degree. One common mistake that people make is that they aren’t prepared for a job and then it goes down the toilet far too soon—you can prevent this if you know what you are looking for.
