52 2022/06/30
Every year, professions in Cambodia rapidly transition from physical labor into skilled labor with more than 100 new companies every year recruiting skilled workers. While specialized skills are important, to be able to compete for the best jobs in your industry, you need more than just that. You need skills that will make you stand out from other people, and those skills are what we will talk about in this article.

1.  Computer/Internet


 
Computer skills are the first, the most basic, but also the most crucial skills for skilled professions in Cambodia. In this era where everything is digitalized, computers have become the most important tool at any workplace.


Other than the basic operations, computer skills may include Microsoft Offices, Internet Research, Graphic Designing, Coding, Illustrating, Animating, and many more. These skills are usable in different positions, and some may not be needed depending on your field, but learning them will surely improve your chances at advancing in position at your workplace.


Along with computers, the Internet has also risen up to become one of the most important tools at any modern workplace. Most information in the world can now be found on the internet. It is the largest, most convenient source of knowledge, as well as a bridge that connects people together.


Since most of the data today is uploaded into the cloud, the internet is also playing an important role in storing them. Most skilled professions will require you to use the internet for almost everything ranging from data cataloging, communicating with clients and co-workers, researching, referencing, learning, and more.


2.   Communication


Communication is an important skill not only for your career, but for your life as well. Communication skill is a skill that enables you to interact and communicate with others efficiently and effectively. Communication skills include body language, the ability to listen and discern others’ intention and needs, the ability to make others understand your intention clearly, the ability to resolve minor arguments, and many more.


Communication skill shows its usefulness the moment you apply for a job position. The way you communicate with your interviewers verbally or digitally may decide whether or not you are hired. Even your CV or resume is a form of communication between you and your potential employer. After you are granted a position, communication skills will help you tremendously when working with your colleagues. It also helps you avoid misunderstanding and workplace drama.


In short, without communication skills, you may not even be able to successfully pass a job interview, and even if you do, you will not be able to maintain a peaceful working environment. Therefore, communication skill is extremely important in finding a job in 2022.


3.  Languages


For the past hundred years globalization has been rapidly pulling the world closer together. Even more so these days with the increased usage of the world wide web. Many smaller countries have been influenced by both negative and positive aspects of larger ones. Cambodia is no different. Over the past years, Cambodia has seen a huge increase in the amount of people who are multilingual.

 

Students are starting to learn English at their primary schools, and companies are starting to hire only applicants who can speak English or Chinese for their skilled positions. As mentioned above, computer and internet usages are one of the main requisitions for a skilled position in most companies, and both the two tools operate in either English or Chinese languages. You can use them in other languages as well, but their functions will be heavily limited.


Therefore, to be able to use the two tools to its full potential, a basic English or Chinese language skill is needed. Language skill had always been a plus to anyone looking for a skilled profession opportunity in the previous era, but now it is a must.


For the above reasons, to be able to work in a skilled profession in 2022 in Cambodia, you will need to hone your knowledge and skills of those three above skills.
