This book highlights tried-and-true essential skills for the real business world and explains why they are essential! It dishes out the subtleties, nuances, and in-between-the-lines considerations of job interviewers who are not only interested in candidates with essential skills, but are actually desperate for them! It also includes an effective “keep score” system that encourages students to rack up job-readiness skills – and gain a true competitive edge!
“I refuse to use the term “soft skills.” There is nothing “soft” these days about getting and keeping a job, much less getting an education and paying for it, not to mention finding the career of your destiny so that you can make your lifetime contribution to making the world go around a little better.”
