Working With Others

Content

If you want to be successful in the world of work, you need to develop the ability to work with others. There are very few jobs out there where you won’t need at least some level of interaction with other people, whether that be colleagues or customers, so making this one of your top skills is vital. 
As well as equipping you for going into the workplace, these skills are totally transferable too, so you’ll be able to use them in your everyday life with friends and family. 
Being able to demonstrate this will enhance your employability and through this playlist you’ll gain an understanding of collaboration, communication, adaptability and networking… all making up a top team player’s toolbox.

Content

Often things will change, sometimes without much warning - either in work or in other aspects of your life - and adaptability is the way you respond to those changes. Sometimes those changes might be encountering people with different working styles or personalities, and sometimes it might be alterations to a project’s deadline or requirements. So having the ability to respond calmly and efficiently to change is a great asset and will make you more capable and reliable in unexpected situations, and ultimately more successful in your work.
