...In this task I will be describing the main employability, personal and communication skills required when applying for a customer assistant position at Tesco’s. The first quality an employer will look for in an applicant is the qualifications they have. Are the qualifications suitable? Have they got a satisfactory amount? Sometimes the qualifications don’t matter depending on the particular job, but most of the time, employers will only take on people who have sufficient qualifications. The qualifications show that they have put a lot of effort into their education and care about their future. It is possible that the job they are applying for is a particular career path that they want to pursue for a long time; this would mean they would have had extra education, showing their dedication. In this case, the job is a customer assistant at Tesco, so personal skills would be more important than the qualifications they have. They may need to have a certain number of qualifications, to show they are well educated, but what they are wouldn’t really be a primary concern. Another quality that employers look for in a candidate for a job is the experience they have in this field. Some employers would regard this as higher importance than the qualifications, depending on what job it is. For example a builder would need plenty of experience to get a job at a big firm, rather than their qualifications. At Tesco, experience with interacting with customers would be a big necessity, as they...

...Joseph Jones P2 describe the main employability, personal and communication skills required when applying for a specific job role. In this task I will be writing about the main employability, personal and communications skills required to be a P.E teacher. The main employability skills required to be a P.E teacher are that they actually have the required qualifications for the desired role. If they do not have the qualifications to be a P.E teacher then there is no way at all that they would be employed by anyone to teach P.E. The fact that an employee has the required qualifications shows that they have the desire to work hard in order to get the job and it shows that they care about their future and they want to succeed. Other employability skills that employers look for is previous experience in a similar role, employers look for experience in specific roles as if they are experienced in the certain role then they will know what they are doing in the job. Another employability skill that employers look for is the ability to observe standards and the ability to further raise them standards. This is key for the job as a P.E teacher as P.E teachers are always expected to raise the standard of physical education within the schools that they teach. Other generic employability skills that employers would look for are punctuality, honesty, and fairness. These skills are required in every job. The main personal skill that an employer will look for in a P.E teacher is organisational...

...P1 - Describe the recruitment documentation used in a selected organisation A broad, general, and written statement of a specific job, based on the findings of a job analysis. It generally includes duties, purpose, responsibilities, scope, and working conditions of a job along with the job's title, and the name or designation of the person to whom the employee reports. Job description usually forms the basis of job specification. For example the bookkeeper position creates financial transactions and creates financial reports from that information. The creation of financial transactions includes posting information to accounting journals or accounting software from such source documents as invoices to customers, cash receipts, and supplier invoices. The bookkeeper also reconciles accounts to ensure their accuracy. A job specification is a detailed description of the role, including all responsibilities, objectives, and requirements.
