Chapter $11$:

Soft skills $($e$.$g$.,$ communication, teamwork, problem solving, etc.$)$ are critical for business success. Many times, soft skills are listed on job postings so potential job candidates can understand those skills necessary for an available job within an organization.

Your task is to check the listings at an online job board. Visit Indeed, CareerBuilder, Monster, Job.com, or Glassdoor. Follow the instructions to search job categories and locations. Study many job listings in your field.

Write a $12-$page reflection $($double$-$spaced, APA format$)$ that explains how often the ads mention communication, teamwork, and problem solving $($or critical thinking$).$ What tasks do the ads mention? If you are not satisfied with the job selection at any job board, choose ads posted on the websites of companies you admire or on LinkedIn.

Chapter $12$:

Your task is to take a business idea you may have, a familiar business topic you care about, or a promotion or raise you wish to request $($your threaded discussion for $5\mathrm{.}2$ may be helpful$).$

Create a $12-$minute elevator pitch for making a good case for your core message$$impromptu or with minimal preparation. Even though you won$$t have much time to think about the details of your pitch, you should be sufficiently familiar with the topic to boil it down and yet be persuasive. Video yourself explaining this task and upload it to this assignment.
