 Career Skills Library - 8 VolumesTo land a good job in today’s competitive work force a person needs to master two sets of skills, both of which can be cultivated with the right guidance. First are technical skills, which are often specific to a given career. Second, but no less important, are personal skills, which allow people to succeed and advance. The Career Skills Library covers those skills, traits, and attributes that are crucial to success in any field, including communication, problem solving, organization, and relating to others. An ideal resource for students thinking about their future career and for their teachers, guidance counselors, and parents, the Career Skills Library provides practical advice on which skills are most in demand by employers and how to start building them now. The set details the competencies identified by the Department of Labor’s SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills) as essential to solid job performance and explains how and why these skills make a difference. Each book focuses on a single skill or set of skills in the workplace and shows students how to improve and practice that skill while still in school.
