23 companies including Microsoft, KPMG, Nationwide Insurance, the Smithsonian, and the FBI were asked about skills of their new hires and they said they wanted candidates who could: search online, ... be patient and persistent researchers, be able to retrieve information in a variety of formats, to identify patterns within an array of sources, to dive DEEPLY into source material....and workers who can collaborate with colleagues to solve problems and who can engage in thoughtful analysis and integrate contextual organizational details rarely found online. Let librarians help you hone those skills - make an appointment to see us this fall when your paper or topic is assigned. Sharpen your research tools to set you apart for employers.
