Job search sites, such as Monster.com, are a great place to find out which specific skills employers want in the career field you have chosen. By looking at the job postings on these sites, you also can find the requirements that aren't taught in the average curriculum. Leadership skills, experience, specific types of proficiencies with tools and components, background, other experiences...these all make up the worker of today, and you should be ready to pick elective courses or take course certifications that support those needed skills.

For this module, find one or more job sites, then search the jobs that are available in your chosen career area. Complete the assignment and post your results in the discussions. Add to your discussion a good examination of those skills that might not be taught in a classroom.

When you complete this module, move on to the next.
