Close those Career Options!

Here is an interesting article from Career Services at the Univ or Michigan.   Please note that the career development officer states that communication skills and the ability to lead are seen as all important. This is why we had oral presentations in class. This is also why I harassed,cajoled, encouraged, urged, jumped up and down, rang a bell, etc.  at least constructively I thought, you to do better!

Note the avg starting salary was $94K, you can bet that for that kind of money the students were prepared for their presentations…..

    That only makes sense. Knowing everything about anything is worthless, unless you can effectively communicate that information to others. You must be able to clearly get your points across to any one who wants to know what you know. And as you have so subtly put, being prepared is also another thing as students and employees, we must always be. You never know when your handy dandy spur of the moment speech that you have to make will put you on somebody’s radar. Since I am a known procrastinator,(and knowing is half the battle) I am working harder at being prepared all the time for anything.
