What Skills Can Increase a Corporate Finance Consultant's Salary?

Demanded Skills for the Role:

  • Networking (Mentioned in 4.25% Job Postings): Ability to maintain, build and expand a personal and business contact list to grow one's career and business opportunities.
  • Onboarding (Mentioned in 2.24% Job Postings): Onboarding, also known as organizational socialization, is management jargon first created in the 1970's that refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors in order to become effective organizational members and insiders. It is the process of integrating a new employee into the organization and its culture. Tactics used in this process include formal meetings, lectures, videos, printed materials, or computer-based orientations to introduce newcomers to their new jobs and organizations. Research has demonstrated that these socialization techniques lead to positive outcomes for new employees such as higher job satisfaction, better job performance, greater organizational commitment, and reduction in occupational stress and intent to quit.. These outcomes are particularly important to an organization looking to retain a competitive advantage in an increasingly mobile and globalized workforce. In the United States, for example, up to 25% of workers are organizational newcomers engaged in an onboarding process. The term induction is used instead in regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and parts of Europe. This is known in some parts of the world as training.
  • Employment Law (Mentioned in 1.06% Job Postings): Applying the knowledge of employment law to regulate relationships between employers and employees.
