According to a recent piece at Cheatsheet.com, the news is good for students looking forward to entering the job market: the vast majority of employers are looking for college grads this year. That being said, many of today’s grads are missing the key abilities that those companies are looking for. Skills like good oral and written communication, teamwork, and problem-solving will open the door to career success.

Another one of these skills is leadership. Desautels Professor Karl Moore says that volunteering is a great way to build up one’s leadership skill, since keeping volunteers motivated and working with few resources will help build up a skillset that will serve someone well throughout their work life.
