Slide 3
The level of skills needed is high as it involves roles which require specific knowledge and training. An example of a job that requires low skill is being a shelf-stacker at Tesco as anyone can do it. High level skills are skills such as advanced maths, sciences, languages and law where as low level skills are general such as time management, team management and communication.
Different jobs within Siemens need different skill sets for example:
Electrical engineers require maths, science and IT skills.
Architect consultants need maths, IT and communication skills.
Financial accountants need to be skilled in IT and maths whilst being efficient time managers.
Legal advisors for Siemens need to be skilled in law and communication.

Electrical engineers design, build and maintain electrical control systems, machinery and equipment. Architect consultants look at the layout of buildings such as power stations and analyse the electricals of the building in order to see if they are safe and efficient. Financial accountants track all money coming in and out of the business so they need to pay attention to detail whilst also having advanced mathematical skills. Legal advisors need to know the law inside and out so they can communicate and advise the company on how to keep the business complacent with the law.

Slide 4

    Most experts suggest that knowledge skills and abilities also known as KSA’s are needed by most candidates in order to fully identify the individuals skill set in relation to the job opening (Dessler, 2008). This is usually part of the selection process and helps when screening for the job. KSA’s are usually coupled with resumes to further qualify a candidate. They focus on credentials earned from previous employment which focus on accomplishments and experience gained through those periods as well as implementation. Knowledge refers to the entire body of information which is factual or procedural in nature in relevance to the position. Skills refer to the verbal management and the mental manipulation of data which is normally measured through a test.
