What Employers Look for!!!

The 10 Skills Employers Most Want In 20-Something Employees

The number one questioned asked by Employers to the 20-something year told crowd is such: “Are you able to work effectively in a team?” What answer are these employers looking for? They want someone that is able to solve problems or conflict, those who go above and beyond the 4.0 grade point average.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) a Bethlehem, Pa. non-profit group that links college career placement offices with employers, ran a survey from early August to mid-September where it asked hiring managers what skills they prioritize when they hire college grads. Though the survey sample is small it collected responses from just 200 employers—the outcome in interesting.
Despite all the emphasis in the news about the need for computer software and programming skills, the most important qualities employers seek are basic teamwork, problem-solving and the ability to plan and prioritize.
Here are the 10 skills employers say they seek, in order of importance:
1. Ability to work in a team
2. Ability to make decisions and solve problems
3. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work
4. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization
5. Ability to obtain and process information
6. Ability to analyze quantitative data
7. Technical knowledge related to the job
8. Proficiency with computer software programs
9. Ability to create and/or edit written reports
10. Ability to sell and influence others

Good news for grads? I’d say a big yes to that! No matter what you studied in school, or what you majored in, the most important facts are the top five skills. If you have those, you will be far more profitable in the job market. Employers want universal skills. Maybe there’s something to say about street-smarts. 

Always be Productive!

1. Productive people can differentiate “fake” productivity from “real” productivity

Sometimes, we put off doing real work in favor of other non-essential tasks. These tasks might somehow resemble “real” work, and thus give us a false sense of productivity. For example, in lieu of doing important tasks, people might attend useless meetings, sort out emails, and chat with coworkers.

Productive people know that these things do not really constitute work and know how to avoid them.

2. Productive people know when to let go of the non-essentials

Should sorting out emails take up an hour of your valuable work time? Do you really need to edit this document five times before you send it to your client?

Sometimes, we do non-

3. Productive people do not multitask

…or avoid it, especially if they don’t need to. Multitasking is the bane of our generation.

The brain is just not wired to juggle multiple things all at the same. Tasks are meant to be completed one at a time for maximum efficiency.essential tasks by dint of habit. We need to learn how to let them go. It’s either we get rid of them or allocate them to others.

4. Productive people power through boredom

Persistence pays off in the long run. This is what separates productive people from the unproductive ones.Suffering from writer’s block? Well, it doesn’t exist. You need to write something down on paper NOW even if you’re bored and don’t feel like it.

Persistence, not procrastination, is the reason why things get done.

5. Productive people have regular sleeping habits

Lack of sleep does not equate to productivity. Your eyebags is not a sign that you’re a hardworking person, it just means that you have poor sleeping habits. Regular sleep (six to eight hours per day, on a constant schedule) has long been scientifically proven to increase productivity.

6. Productive people know how to allocate breaks

Breaks are essential for a productive lifestyle. Our bodies and brains are just not meant to work non-stop, so breaks are there to keep us refreshed.

Some people need longish breaks after long work blocks, while some can make do with short breaks interspersed throughout the day. 

Always set up goals and standards for yourself!

At Scarlet Management Group, we believe that goal setting not only allows you to take control of your life's direction; it also provides you a benchmark for determining whether you are actually succeeding.

It is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve, and ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it. In between there are some very well defined steps that transcend the specifics of each goal.

Here are some steps on how to get what you want:

1. Figure out the goals you want to achieve

When you set goals for yourself, it is important that they motivate you. This means making sure that they are important to you, and that there is value in achieving them. If you have little interest in the outcome, or they are irrelevant given the larger picture, then the chances of you putting in the work to make them happen are slim. Motivation is key to achieving goals.

2. Set SMART Goals

For goals to be powerful, they should be designed to be SMART. The acronym SMART stands for:

• Specific - Your goal must be clear and well defined. Vague or generalized goals are unhelpful because they don't provide sufficient direction. Make it as easy as you can to get where you want to go by defining precisely where you want to end up.
• Measurable - Include precise amounts, dates, and so on in your goals so you can measure your degree of success. Without a way to measure your success you miss out on the celebration that comes with knowing you have actually achieved something.
• Attainable - Although it is important to challenge yourself, make sure that it's possible to achieve the goals you set. If you set a goal that you have no hope of achieving, you will only demoralize yourself and ruin your confidence.
• Revisable - Goals must be looked at on a regular basis. Sometimes life changes our time and resources; thus, our progress on our goals needs to be re-evaluated. If the goal is no longer reasonable, ask why. Were you unrealistic or have circumstances changed? Have you completed your task already or did you not challenge yourself enough? Goals are not set in stone; they are designed to maximize your success. If needed, revise, rewrite and recast your goals accordingly.
• Timely - Goals must have a deadline. Again, this means that you know when you can celebrate success. When you are working on a deadline, your sense of urgency increases and achievement will come that much quicker.

3. Develop Action Steps

This step is often missed in the process of goal setting. You get so focused on the outcome that you forget to plan all of the steps that are needed along the way. By writing out the individual steps, and then crossing each one off as you complete it, you'll realize that you are making progress towards your ultimate goal. This is especially important if your goal is big and demanding, or long-term.

4. Review

Remember, goal setting is an ongoing activity not just a means to an end. Build in reminders to keep yourself on track, and make regular time-slots available to review your goals. Your end destination may remain quite similar over the long term, but the action plan you set for yourself along the way can change significantly.

Set yourself up for success!

Leadership is Contagious

Leadership is contagious. What is modeled by leaders is mimicked by others. As you build strong leadership habits, rather than thinking what could you do first, consider the effects of what you do last.

Leaders Battle Last

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle” 

Leaders navigate through conflicts and trials as though no problems took place. They have to develop a big picture attitude. They see problems on the horizon and handle them well before they hit the shore and do any damage. They prefer solution over problem. 

Leaders don’t focus on where things are currently at, but where things will be heading. You may need to change the course you are going. 

Leaders Speak Last

They allow others to give their opinion. They listen, understand, and acknowledge all t hat is said. Leaders don’t just take everything on board, the assess and weigh all opinions. Then, they speak last after they tie everything together. Leaders know they can learn from anyone, but they excel in making the right decisions with the best opinions. They are not a dictator nor holding a democracy, good leaders have a perfect balance. 

Leaders Celebrate Last

The old sayings will never die; nothing is over till the fat lady sings. Leaders don’t take the pedal off the metal until they've truly crossed the finish line. Leaders see things through a panoramic lens. 

A sprint is pointless if you’re trying to run a marathon. 

Leaders Hire Last

Leaders truly know that anyone can look like a rock star on paper. It is easy to dazzle in a dress, however it is far more difficult to get out on the dance floor. “Don’t tell me, show me,” is what a real leader would say. Quality will beat qualifications every single time. 

 Leaders Sweat Last

“Work smarter, not harder”

This however doesn't mean hard work gets thrown out the window, Leaders work both hard and smart. They always push for more, more productivity, more efficiency. This by no means is them shying away from hard work, it is smart work. Leaders also know how to maximize their strengths and outsource their weaknesses. 

Leaders get off the Ship Last 

It is an unspoken, but sometimes broken rule; the captain is the last to leave a ship. The most tragic ship wrecks are those of which the captain is the first to abandon his crew. A leader does not step into a role without accepting the responsibilities, they know every decision they make affects many lives, if they steer one way, the entirety of the ship is also going that way. 

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

Work Hard Play Hard!!!

Scarlet Management Group is a group of young individuals who are professional, smart, hard workers, and fun. After a long week of work every Thursday we meet up and do something different, we do like to have fun and work hard. Our Director Makes sure that we get a break from work and just relax together as a family, that is the best part of being part of SMG!!! Whether someone is new or has been here for a long time we all participate on the decision of what we would like to do for that week.

Opportunity Meeting!!

Rob our Director was running the morning meeting this morning; he makes sure that everyone knows the opportunity that people have when they work with SMG. Rob makes sure that he coaches people every day and spend time to help them and make sure that our business partners get further in their professional and personal life.

Rob has a goal and that is to help his business partners to get where he is, but he knows that a great coach needs to train people to be better than he is. Everyone in this meeting looks up to him and listens to him because if they are here is because they want to be more than just a sales person or someone that will work for someone else for the rest of their life.

Soles4Souls Donations.

We want to thank Chris for being so modest and helping us with donations, he was one of the first ones to ask about Soles4Souls and the next day he had a couple donations.

Chris is encouraging everyone that he knows to help with donations, every week he walks in the office with a pair of shoes to donate.

Scarlet Management Group want to thank everyone that has helped us and keeps on helping us with donations for those who are in need.
