Careers

Employers need workers who

  • have good “people skills”
  • can do thorough research
  • write clearly and accurately
  • interpret trends and solve problems
  • speak well in public
  • represent the company with poise
  • can make sense out of a pile of gathered words and numbers
  • design web pages free from embarrassing errors and
  • are adaptable and willing to explore new approaches

In other words, they need people who have the skills of English majors.
