What does it mean to be employable

Are you employable?

When we talk about being employable, most people think it’s just about having a degree, submitting a few applications, and waiting for luck to strike.

But employability is more than qualifications, it’s about value. The value you bring, the mindset you carry, and the red flags you may not even realize you are waving.

Let’s break it down a bit.

Being employable means having skills beyond your degree.
Employers are not just looking for certificates, they want proof that you can think critically, solve real problems, adapt quickly, and work with others.

Communication, time management, emotional intelligence, digital literacy — these are skills that separate job applicants from job candidates.

So ask yourself:

• Do I bring more to the table than my academic record?

• Can I collaborate, create, lead, and contribute?

If not, you’ve got some skills to sharpen, and that’s perfectly okay.

Now let’s talk about red flags.
Being unemployable is rarely about lack of knowledge. Sometimes, it’s poor attitude. Poor follow-up. Inability to communicate clearly. A social media trail that undermines your credibility. Or simply not understanding what a professional environment expects of you.

These are things we can control, but they often go unchecked.

The truth is, employability isn’t a title, it’s a mindset. And if you’re willing to learn, reflect, and grow, then you’re already on the path.
