For many students, the joy of graduating from college is quickly replaced by the pressure of trying to find a job. Many new graduates think they lack the skills required in companies because they lack working experience.
Students don't think about what skills they developed during their college years over and above what's on their transcripts(成绩单)．Colleges also provide “soft skills” that many employers require.
Students have the ability at 2 am to write a paper while messaging their friends and watching TV. And that's a skill which can make employees manage tight schedules effectively. The ability to function on four or five hours of sleep and work late to complete a project is particularly useful in industries like consulting, banking, law and technology. In the consulting world，you're going to travel a lot, and it's different from a nine to five job. The fact that applicants are OK with that is very helpful.
Recent students also tend to have more knowledge on technology than general people，so it takes less time for them to learn to use technological equipment. A survey found 30% people of 18－21 years old agreed that they tried to keep up with the latest styles and trended for electronic products, compared with 18% of 45－54 years old and 15% of 55 years old and older.
Students also frequently work on group projects in school, learning skills like teamwork and conflict resolution in the process. Living in schools can help prepare graduates to work with people of different genders, races and nationalities. Students have much broader vision than many working professionals.
These skills and experiences come so naturally to students that many of them forget to bring them up in job interviews. The recruiters(招聘者) may not know you have these experiences and abilities. Sharing them frankly will help set you apart from others who are being interviewed.
