What soft skills do employers request when they list job openings in your field?
Check job listings in your field at an online job board. Visit a job board such as Monster, College Recruiter, CareerBuilder.com, or Yahoo Careers. Follow the instructions to search job categories and locations. Study many job listings in your field. Then prepare a list of the most frequently requested soft skills in your area of interest. Next to each item on the list, indicate how well you think you would qualify for the skill or trait mentioned. Your instructor may ask you to submit your findings and/or report to the class. If you are not satisfied with the job selection at any job site, choose another job board.
