Advice for job seekers from a graduate
who has been there and now hires.
"I
encourage development of writing and public speaking skills among
your graduates. For me and many in positions like mine, good
technical and theoretical skills alone aren’t enough. Good
candidates also must speak confidently in front of large and small
groups and write clearly for a non-economist audience, often under
deadline pressure. They must be comfortable in an interview or at
a business meal. Those “social” skills and a sound foundation
in economics are more difficult to find than they should be.
Students who can deliver the entire package will have a real
advantage in the market."
