1) Read the text and choose the best title for it.

A. The importance of interpersonal skills.

B. The importance of communication skills.

C. Some important employability skills.

In a society where the unemployment rate is relatively high, employers usually have greater choice of applicants. They tend to favour the candidates with more employability skills - the skills necessary for getting, keeping, and being successful in a job. These skills are varied, ranging from basic ones such as searching for job adverts, writing CVs and covering letters, and coming across well in interviews, to the more advanced skills which are required in order to keep a job for a long time. Among the long list of more advanced employability skills, it is very important for all job seekers to equip themselves with interpersonal skills, communication skills, and leadership ability in order to keep and be successful in a job.

Interpersonal skills are really crucial when seeking employment. They are the skills that people use to interact with each other. People with good interpersonal skills often co-operate and work well with the others in a team. They are also good at negotiating and satisfying the expectations of the people involved. In their daily work, interpersonal skills allow them to empathise with colleagues as well as clients, thereby building better working relationships.

This, as a result, leads to a better working environment with little or no stress.

Communication skills are also important for people who are seeking employment or looking for a promotion in their current career because employers nowadays want to find employees who communicate well both verbally and in writing wi a wide variety of people. Good communicators can speak and write clearly and succinctly, getting their messages across with less chance of misunderstanding. They can also demonstrate a varied vocabulary and tailor their language to different audiences.

Besides interpersonal and communication skills, having leadership ability is also an advantage in seeking and keeping employment. The people wit leadership ability tend to influence others towardf the achievement of a goal. Thus, they often make great team players, allowing them to work in a group to achieve the best results for their employe

It is hard to get a job. It is even harder to keep it, succeed in it, and gain a promotion. However, if people know how to interact properly and communicate well with others, and if they possess leadership ability, they can increase their chance o getting and keeping the job they want.
