• to keep digital records of stock

• to do an online health and safety course

• when communicating with teammates

• Digital skills at work

• You might be expected to have different levels of digital skills, depending on your job.

Examples of digital skills employers might look for include:

• Using the internet confidently on a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC

• Confidence to use systems at work such as Outlook, Powerpoint and Excel

• The ability to communicate online using email, social media or other tools like Zoom and Teams

• Searching for reliable information online

• Being aware of online dangers to keep yourself and your organisation safe

Employers might ask for more specialist skills depending on the role. You can add digital skills on your CV, application form or talk about them in an interview.

Are you Applying for jobs?

Digital skills can help you find and apply for jobs. They make it easier to prepare for an interview and help you succeed.

Many jobs are only advertised online. You’ll often need to apply using an online application form or by emailing a CV.

The job selection process may also include online psychometric tests or a video interview. Knowing how to cope with these will improve your job chances.
