the major skills that were needed at the frankston north
community centre were communication and teamwork, I used these
skills when working in the kitchen and weaving plastic bags,
teamwork is a skill that can be taught with relative ease but
good communication is not a skill so easily taught, I am a team
player so I found working in a team weaving was incredibly easy,
as we got 6 whole balls of plastic yarn woven.

during my work placement, I was showed around the small area I
would be working in, my first task involved printing and folding
a few letters to be sent off to clients, technology played a
part as I was showed how the machines worked, and how to operate
them even in specific order ,self-management was another skill
used as I had to manage my time and figure out what my next job
would be, if I had nothing I would communicate with Mel and she
would give me new jobs to take on. Communication is not one of
my best skills in the workplace, but I can listen well to others
and convey information when I need to, I feel over time my skill
with technology will increasingly get better and develop over
time. For an employee to learn new skills they must be given
opportunities to learn and develop these skills.

@Ayoub Forrest Employability skills will always have major
factors in all types of workplaces, but in my opinion yes
Communication, Problem solving and Teamwork will always be the
three biggest skills in a majority of workplaces, feel free to
offer your opinion though if you disagree.

When I was doing my work placement at ginseng restaurant I was
struggling at first because it was my first time working in a
restaurant. The employability and technical skills that you need
is different from where I used to work as a tradie or working in
a factory. In restaurant the most needed skill is communication
and teamwork, everything you do in restaurant involve
communication skill and teamwork not like working in a factory
where communication and teamwork is not much needed. I'm
confident to my learning skill since I'm a quick learner and can
adopt to things or environment easily. Everyone can learn all
employability skills but some are just quicker learner than the
others.

employability skill is communication and teamwork, they all had
to communicate about everything they did because if they didn't
it would usually have a bad affect on a client, for example when
one of the carers forgot to tell the other carers that she was
going out with a resident to play pool with him there was a
whole trolley full of food that was left for 40 minutes when it
was supposed to be given out to the other residents so they
could eat. I think I am fairly confident in most of the
employability skills, but I feel that I'm most confident with
the problem solving skills and the communication skill. mainly
just think I was brought up in a way that we have to always be
thinking critically and be able to handle difficult situations
the best way we can. I think that most of these skills are the
kind people are born with, and strengthen through out their
life, but I think that they can be taught as well. like the
technology one.

Hey Johnsun, I think that's a really good point - different
industries often need different skills - although some do
crossover. I think it's actually really good you've now had
experience in the hospitality sector - I think it's an industry
that teaches you a lot of useful transferable skills. I notice
that you feel like you're more focused on how you communicate
with people - which is awesome. CG
