Anphabe Company offers 5 basic skills that workers need to have to "stand firm" in the volatile job market.

AI skills

AI is no longer a distant concept but has become a powerful support tool in daily work. Knowing how to take advantage of AI will help you work smarter, increase productivity and make more accurate decisions.

Some important skills related to AI include: Using AI in work (ChatGPT, Notion AI...); understanding how to operate large language models (LLM); analyzing data using AI.

soft skills

Strategic thinking, communication and adaptability - all of which are soft skills that can be applied in many different fields and countries. This means that when job requirements and recruitment standards change, these skills will always be valuable and workers should regularly cultivate them.

Think far, do big things

Businesses need to innovate to maintain consistency, but employees in the company may not have enough resources to pursue all ideas. If you want to pursue great opportunities, you must be the one who can solve these problems for your customers. Work is not only about completing daily tasks, but also requires long-term strategic thinking to create real value.

Effective communication

The best ideas cannot come true without effective communication or development in a closed environment. Communication is also an important skill for mid-level and senior managers, especially when they face sometimes difficult conversations with their staff.

Whether working remotely or in person, good communication skills help you build a solid relationship, work effectively in a group and express your views convincingly. Important forms of communication include: Writing professional emails; presentations, negotiations; communication via text messages, online meetings.

Adaptation

Adaptation becomes extremely important because change is inevitable. Continuous learning and resilience are the keys to always stay ahead and turn challenges and changes into opportunities for development and innovation.

The job market is constantly fluctuating, technology is changing every day, and the remote working model is increasingly popular. Those who adapt quickly will have more opportunities. In that context, you need to constantly learn and update new knowledge; flexibly switch roles; see change as a development opportunity.

According to Anphabe Company, the Vietnamese labor market is changing rapidly, requiring workers to not only be good at their profession but also equip themselves with new skills to avoid being left behind. The above 5 skills will help you not only maintain your position but also make a breakthrough in your career.
