Brown University

Dawn King Ph.D.: I find that many technical skills can be taught, so employers often look for candidates with drive and those who can demonstrate they have good time management skills. Further, employers often ask me to speak to the candidate's ability to work well independently and as part of a team.
Dawn King Ph.D.: In my opinion, a good job out of college helps the graduate build skill sets and networks toward their long-term goals. It need not be a permanent position or in the graduate's "area of expertise" to be beneficial. This could be as complex as learning new computer models or as mundane as learning what you don't want to do.
