Script
- Simply put, employability is one's capacity to land and maintain employment. However, this notion may have many facets.
- When an employer assesses an employment candidate, employability refers to employer's evaluation of the candidate's positive contribution if this candidate is hired.
- When an employer assesses an employee, employability refers to employer's notion that this employee should take care of his or her own career development to keep the current position or obtain a new one.
- From a worker perspective, employability can be defined as remaining employable regardless of particular employer fluctuations.
- What makes you employable? You may think in terms of three ingredients; all of them are equally important because you are not employable if one of them is missing.
- First of all, the employment that motivates you should exist on the job market. On the one hand, no one can land something that doesn't exist. On another hand, no one needs something that doesn't attract.
- Secondly, your value proposition as an employee should satisfy the employer's needs. Otherwise, why should the employer be interested in you?
- Finally, your power to land the position or the employer's power to attract you should be sufficient. For instance, if no employer reaches out to you and you cannot apply for any position, how would you be hired?
- The Employability Model depicts these three ingredients. Increasing one's employability is in the core of career administration.
