答案 The Trinity of Job Skills Years ago, to graduate from universities meant a guaranteed job offer and a promised career. This rosy picture is now replaced by a gloomy reality—graduates need more credentials, in addition to a college degree, to prove their abilities and impress the future employers. In my opinion, in the 21st century, linguistic skill, computer literacy and interpersonal skill are most desired by employers. First of all, the ability to speak a foreign language is a must for job-seekers. With the intensifying trend of globalization, cross-border communications are even more frequent. In this context, the mastery of a foreign language will facilitate international communications. This is especially true if you want to work in an international company or in a domestic enterprise which plans to go global. Linguistic skill is the bridge linking you with the international partners or boss seamlessly. Furthermore, as we are in the information age, the ability to use computer is also crucial for graduates. The routine corporate operation involves such activities as sending e-mails, giving PPT presentations, updating database, having remote conference etc. If one is ignorant of the basic computer skill, he will not keep up with the pace of the changing time. It is hard to imagine that you would ask a client to mail you a letter, simply because you are unable to read or reply e-mails. The absurd illiteracy of computer might cost you a potential business partner, because it takes months to settle down details in letters, which could have been solved in matter of minutes with the help of e-mails. While the two previous competences are hard skills, interpersonal communication is more a soft skill. As we work in a team, the ability to understand and cooperate with each other is of vital importance. We need to be a good listener to hear out our co-workers and be attentive to their needs and feelings. Positive energy will be developed if we know how to communicate with our co-workers. If we do a lousy job in keeping our team members together, we may be tripped over by the relationship baggage and negative mood will be evoked, which is rapidly contagious amongst team members. In short, to speak a foreign language, to operate the computer and to get along well with co-workers are the three major skills we should develop in the 21st century. This trinity will pave a smooth path for us to the job destination we long for.
