As college students, how does this information make us feel? Does it emphasize how important it is to make the most of our time at Texas Tech, even outside of the classes we take?

I did not know what this word meant and had to look it up, I will now be using "nevertheless" in my French writing.

This article was written by a group who caters towards disseminating information to new, budding professionals.

The inclusion of further reading adds to the trustworthiness of the source. This shows that they have a proven track record discussing the job market as it pertains to young professionals.

There has been an emphasis throughout the article on the importance of a variety of skills. It is a large takeaway that a diploma is only a stepping stone rather than an overarching goal.

Both the writing style and the format caters to young professionals.

I appreciate the clear and professional formatting of these statistics. It is clear that it was written for a professional, young audience and the formatting clearly caters to this.

I did not know what this meant, after research I believe it means transferable skills. This is definitely extremely broad.

Although the inclusion of it makes sense, I was not expecting LinkedIn to be in the article.

This vocabulary caught my eye, I did not know what that meant. After research, I now know it is "team spirit". I am inferring this is equivalent to being a team player.

As I mentioned in the pre-lecture, I believe that communication skills are essential to new grads!! They are the starting factor in employment now.

I started reading right here, as it is the beginning of the bulk of the article.

The picture is eye catching. It looks like someone is doing some sort of math about selling goods.

The title serves as the first understanding of the article. I immediately connected this with the pre-lecture question regarding desirable traits for new grads joining the work force.
