Job skills by the numbers: Explore the survey data
Dipti Sharma (L) waits with other applicants to meet potential employers at a Manhattan job fair on January 17, 2013 in New York City.
What does it take to get hired in this economy? For recent graduates, it's strong internship experience on their resume and better written and oral communications skills.
That's according to the results of a survey conducted by Marketplace and The Chronicle of Higher Education asking employers to weigh in on what they look for in today's recent grads. Marketplace's education correspondent Amy Scott explored that data in a sort of mock interview setting yesterday, and reported on the importance of internships on the Morning Report.
Do you have questions about the survey and its results?
Amy will be available for a live chat on Twitter on Wednesday, March 6 at 2 p.m. EST. Get your questions in early, either by commenting on this page -- or by tweeting @AmyReports or @MarketplaceAPM with the hashtag #HowToGetAJob, and Amy will answer them tomorrow.
