What do employers want in 2012? The same skill set as 2002!

 

So…are "soft skills" (professional competencies) that position you for business and workplace success still needed in today's technological, international world?

The National Association of Colleges and Employers says, "Yes"! This is why I'm passionate about the topics on which I focus…they're all here in this list. I shouldn't have to convince anyone about the importance of learning, practicing, improving upon, and mastering the following skills.

Employers' list of skills most needed is:
* Honesty and integrity
* Interpersonal skills
* Teamwork skills
* Strong work ethic
* Motivation and initiative
* Flexibility and adaptability
* Computer skills
* Analytical skills
* Organizational skills
