  1. Part 1 Personality Traits and Attributes Learning Objective: Analyse personality traits needed for tech jobs Key words: Characteristics, traits, attributes

  2. Starter Activity Activity Think about the following questions What kind of people do IT jobs? Where might they work? What sort of companies or industries would they work in? Discuss what you think with the rest of the class.

  3. What is an attribute or trait? This is a quality or characteristic that belongs to someone and makes up their personality. Character traits are often shown with descriptive adjectives, like patient, unfaithful, or jealous. 

  4. Personality Traits and Attributes Activity Which of these attributes and personality traits would suit someone in a Tech Job? Discuss with the person next to you. Do you both agree? Feedback to class. Detailed Likes to analyse data Creative/innovative Variety-seeking Achievement-oriented Talkative Socially confident Structured, methodical Perfectionist Likes to analyse people Optimistic/positive Unstructured, spontaneous

  5. Task Job adverts Activity Extension activity You have been given a job advert. In pairs discuss what you think the job title is and what type of company the job is for. What would you need to do to be employed in this job? What skills/attributes would you need?

  6. Summary Activity Write down one personality trait that you have that would help you get a tech career. The point to realise here is that yes, certain jobs suit certain people more than others – but often our assumptions about what those jobs might be for us, can be limiting.  It’s worth exploring different jobs within a career and seeing what appeals to you.   Also our assumptions about what jobs exist in different career choices can be very limited.  We may not have expected to see jobs in fashion advertised as a tech career.  It’s worth looking into career options and the jobs available to see what options there are for you.
