Information
Time management as an employability skill
Considerations about time and its use are important to most jobs, careers and businesses. Effective time planning can make or break a business. For nurses and medical staff, wasted time is time not spent with a patient or learning a new procedure, which affects patient care and could be a question of life and death.12 For teachers, time wasted can affect pupils’ attainment and life chances. For a company, missing a delivery deadline can mean loss of customers.
Awareness of the impact of time management
Your time management affects others. In the workplace, it can mean others are able to get on with their work and meet their time deadlines. Poor time use by one person can affect others’ livelihoods.
Time courtesies count
Everyday courtesies matter – such as turning up, being on time and getting things done when you say you will. Apart from the financial costs of poor time use, such courtesies reflect the professionalism and brand of the business. Typically, employers ask tutors or former employers to provide details of absenteeism and punctuality when considering a candidate for a job. Your everyday time behaviours can influence your opportunities.
Efficient and effective use of time
As part of the appointment process, employers might set assessment tasks to see how much work you can do in a competent manner under timed conditions. It is useful to develop the ability to settle down quickly to tasks and to find and maintain your focus for tasks you undertake.
Employability skills and qualities gained through effective time management
The skills and qualities you can acquire through developing your time-management abilities whilst a student include many that are relevant to graduate jobs and careers. Consider these for your CV. Decide on good examples of where you demonstrate these, to discuss at interview.
Punctuality | Maintaining focus – so that time is well used |
Self-management and self-reliance | Ability to organise and complete a task from start to finish |
Ability to organise your own work | Perseverance – able to keep going over time |
