What are dependability and reliablity skills?
Reliability and dependability are words that are often used interchangeably. These skills are the glue that holds any organization together. Being dependable and reliable increases your own performance, makes teams more productive, and allows businesses to be more successful.
Employers are looking for graduates who can be counted on to do what is expected of them. This means being accountable and completing tasks that you take on. This means showing up on time and completing work assigned to you. A dependable member of an organization is able to manage their own workload and know when to ask for help to ensure that deadlines are met or products meet acceptable standards.
