College Seniors Confident about Their Work Ethic, Written & Oral Skills; Employers Disagree

Employers are not so happy with those skills among the applicants they see. The biggest divide was around students’ professionalism and work ethic. Almost 90 percent of seniors thought they were competent in that area, but only…
