What employers want

摘要

The headline of this piece is based on an article by Paul Wiseman of the Associated Press. His key point was that "it's the soft skills that count, firms want grads who can think fast, work in teams." After my years of interviewing, hiring, managing, and working with engineers-and being one myself-I can tell you that Wiseman is right on point. He goes on to quote an employer: "I have never fired an engineer for bad engineering, but I have fired an engineer for lack of teamwork... people have to work together. They have to collaborate."
