LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF
Recruiters give communication and networking skills high priority when screening candidates for college internships and first jobs.
Collaboration Begins with Communication and Networking
R ecruiters give communication and networking skills high priority when screening candidates for college internships and first jobs. They're looking for candidates who can communicate well both orally and in writing, and network well with others for collaboration and teamwork. They also want people who gain social capital through communication and networking so that they can handle conflicts and negotiate successfully. But if you're like many of us, there's work to be done to master these challenges.
The American Management Association found that workers rated their bosses only slightly above average on transforming ideas into words, being credible, listening and asking questions, and giving written and oral presentations. More than three quarters of university professors rated incoming high school graduates as only "fair" or "poor" in writing clearly, and in spelling and use of grammar. When it comes to decorum or just plain old "good manners," a BusinessWeek survey reported that 38% of women complain about "sexual innuendo, wisecracks and taunts" at work.
Social networking is very popular on the college campus and among young professionals, as everyone wants to be linked in. The same skills transfer to the workplace. A good networker acts as a hub -connected with others; gatekeeper -moving information to and from others; and pulse-taker -staying abreast of what is happening.
