A Way To Enhance Your Academic Experiences, Your Future Career, and Your Creative Life







50% of the 2012 college graduates did not find a full time job in their major field of study…(CBS News, 2012) It’s clear based on the data that employers truly value skills which include analytical thinking and communication ability. This speaks to the fact that specific on-the-job skills change, and they change more quickly these days than ever before. As a result, employers are looking for raw material — talent that they can work with and develop, people who can adapt to changes over time. (Forbes, 2012) 98% of employers consider communication skills as a basic essential for future employees…(US News and World Report, 2012)

According to Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding, that means “the ability to write, compose emails, give presentations in front of others, and being able to have conversations with those across generations.” 

He adds that many employers believe technical skills, such as how to use a particular software program, can be easily learned, while other analytical skills, such as communication, need to be developed. “It takes time to master the art of communication, especially when young people are so dependent on technology instead of real-life communication,” says Schawbel. The ability to coordinate with others is closely related; 92 percent of employers said they also consider it important. (USN &WR, 2012)
