Employability Skills
Domain focus
Employability Skills tests communication, teamwork, punctuality, customer handling, digital literacy, and safe workplace behaviour. Questions are scenario-based: choose the response that solves the problem and follows workplace policy.
Core rules
- Listen fully, confirm the complaint in writing, and use plain language. Do not promise a completion time you cannot meet.
- Follow the job card and escalation path. Report errors honestly; hiding a mistake creates bigger safety and cost problems.
- Teamwork means sharing information at handover, keeping tools and bay clean, and respecting roles. Ask questions when instructions are unclear.
- Digital literacy includes reading a service manual, using a scan tool, and protecting customer data.
- Punctuality and correct PPE show reliability and safety awareness.
Worked example
A customer returns with the same noise after a repair. The correct response is to listen, record the complaint, inspect with the customer's permission, compare with the earlier job card, and escalate if needed. The reasoning is that repeat complaints require evidence and process, not argument or a quick guess.
Traps
Arguing with the customer, blaming a colleague, skipping handover notes, and sharing customer details are common errors.
