What do college grads need to succeed?
MILWAUKEE —Recent college graduates may have their degrees, but to find a job a career expert believes there’s one skill they can’t do without.
The director of the Career Planning and Resource Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee said that communication skills are at the top of the list for every employer.
“Someone who can communicate written form and verbal, who can do presentations, who can work towards critical thinking and solutions, as opposed to sitting, waiting for someone to tell them what to do,” Jean Salzer said.
She mentioned that when it comes to looking for work, graduates won’t just be able to rely on the internet. She said 60 to 70 percent of jobs aren’t advertised online.

The post is right on. College grads need to get out from behind their computer screens and speak words to real people. They can’t depend on college career services and Monster.com to be sources for jobs.
