“The most sought-after are problem-solving (49% ranked it No. 1), collaboration (43%), and critical thinking (36%).”
I’m willing to bet that 100% of these so-called executives can’t even define what they’re looking for without using generic catchphrases and business jargon. The inarticulate, egotistical executives say that the illiterate Lesbian French Ice Sculpture majors lack basic skills like communication? Pot, meet kettle.
Stories like this strike a nerve with me. There’s a real problem with our colleges, but it’s also not right to have unrealistic expectations of graduates.
Unrealistic? How about showing p, offering something worthwhile and have a strong and positive work ethic? It is hard to find.
