In todays lecture, I will talk about the skills required to get a good job. Well, it is true that now competition for employment is more so than ever. So it begs the obvio

18、us question, how do you stand out? There will be three main points I will be discussing. They are academic, personal management, and teamwork skills. I will give you examples of these skills, and reasons why these skills are important for you to get a job. First of all, academic skills. Academic ski

19、lls are probably the most important skill you will need to get a job. It is one of the or the first thing an employer looks for in an employee. They are skills which give you the basic foundation to acquire, hold on to, and advance in a job, and to achieve the best results. Academic skills can be fu

20、rther divided into three sub-groups: communication, thinking, and learning skills. Communication skills require you to understand and speak the languages in which business is conducted. You must be a good listener, and be able to understand things easily. One of the most important communicating skil

21、ls should be reading. You should be able to comprehend and use written materials including things such as graphs, charts, and displays. One of the newest things we can add to communicating skills would be the Internet, since it is so widely used all around the world, and hence you should have a good

22、 understanding of what it is and how to use it. Then, thinking skills. Thinking critically and acting logically to evaluate situations will get you far in your job. Thinking skills consist of things such as solving mathematical problems, using new technology, instruments, tools, and information syst

23、ems effectively. Some examples of these would be technology, physical science, the arts, skilled trades, social science, and much more. After that, learning is very important for any job. For example, if your company gets some new software, you must be able to learn how to use it quickly and effecti

24、vely after a few tutorials. You must continue doing this for the rest of your career. It is one thing that will always be useful in any situation, not just jobs. The second major job skill I want to discuss is management skills. Personal management skill is the combination of attitudes, skills, and

25、behaviors required to get, keep, and progress on a job and to achieve the best results. Personal management skills can be further divided into three sub-groups just as academic skills, which are positive attitudes and behaviors, responsibility, and adaptability. Positive attitudes and behaviors are

26、also very important to keep a job. You must have good self-esteem and confidence in yourself. You must be honest, have integrity, and personal ethics. You must show your employer you are happy at what you are doing and have positive attitudes toward learning, growth, and personal health. Show energy

27、 and persistence to get the job done, these can help you to get promoted or a raise. Responsibility and adaptability are also essential. Responsibility is the ability to set goals and priorities in work and personal life. It is the ability to plan and manage time, money, and other resources to achie

28、ve goals, and accountability for actions taken. While adaptability means having a positive attitude toward changes in your job, and recognition of respect for peoples diversity and individual differences. Creativity is also important. You must have the ability to identify and suggest new ideas to ge

29、t the job done. Last but not least, I want to emphasize teamwork skills. Employers now focus on employees teamwork skills simply because teams can bring more talent, experience, knowledge and skill to the problem situation and teamwork can be more satisfying and morale boosting for people than worki

30、ng alone. There are two reasons. First, team recommendations are more likely to be carried out than recommendations by an individual because people are more willing to support an effort that they have helped to develop. Second, teams can react to a variety of problems that are beyond the technical c

31、ompetence of an individual, since teams can be composed of individuals cross department and division lines. Teamwork skills are those skills needed to work with others co-operatively on a job and to achieve the best results. You should show your employer youre able to work with others, understand an

32、d contribute to the organizations goals. Involve yourself in the group, make good decisions with others and support the outcomes. Dont be narrow-minded, listen to what others have to say and give your thoughts toward their comments. Be a leader not a loner in the group. In conclusion, I would like t

33、o say that all these skills I have discussed are critical to getting and keeping a job and to achieve the best results possible for you. Of these skills though academic skills would be the most important skills you will learn, I think. So if you keep at these skills you will be happy with what you a

34、re doing unlike a lot of people who are forced to get jobs that they do not like. After you get a desirable job, here comes the second question on how to advance in the job you have already acquired. Of course this is the topic we shall discuss in the next lecture.

Then what is learning? We define learning as a process where a living being experiences certain relationships between e

41、vents and is able to recognize an association between events, and as a consequence the subjects behavior changes because of that experience. Or, more simply, learning is the process of recognizing how a living beings actions change its environment, other beings actions, etc. All living things can le

42、arn, even goldfish! There are two basic stages of learning: acquisition and maintenance. When an individual is first learning something, this is called the acquisition stage. This stage of learning is not all or none; rather, it is usually gradual. You may have heard someone use the phrase trial and

43、 error. Once armed with new information, an individual will act on the new information when it is appropriate. This is known as the maintenance stage. Learning begins to plateau during the maintenance stage. Learning is done in four types: Instrumental learning, which is more commonly known as opera

44、nt conditioning, classical conditioning, non-associative learning, and social learning. Operant conditioning is a form that may be very familiar to you if you have ever trained a dog. The majority of learning is some form of operant conditioning. The simplest way to explain this type of learning is

45、that behavior produces events. An event can be a rewarding experience or a negative experience. As a result of such events the behavior changes. A dog learns that his behavior has consequences and that he can control what happens to him by behaving in certain ways, or refraining from behaving in tho

46、se ways. If your dog raids the garbage, he is rewarded by this experience by getting tidbits of food, and is more likely to repeat the behavior. Human beings are also products of this learning. We learn from a young age that if we touch a hot stove, well get burned. If we put on a raincoat, well sta

47、y dry. This form of learning is characterized by Thorndikes Law of Effect. The law states that if the consequence is pleasant the preceding behavior becomes more frequent, whereas if the consequence is unpleasant, the behavior will diminish and in some cases become extinct. Classical conditioning is

48、 another form of learning that is increasing in popularity. This type of learning results from learning that certain things go together. This learning was demonstrated by the Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov. In an investigative experiment, Pavlov was able to demonstrate in dogs that salivation could be started by non-food stimuli such as bells, buzzers, and tones. In his experiments, he was able to show that dogs will salivate when they antici
