Lack of Soft Skills among Newly Recruited Employees

Original language description

This discusses the issue of the apparent lack of soft skills among university graduates. The authors aimed to find out how students with some work experience view the need that employees wield soft skills. The results of applying the frequency analysis on part-time students&apos; essays are shown and discussed. The survey pointed at the new recruits&apos; lack of communication skills and at their exaggerated financial expectations. The potential follow-up research should focus on what can be done to improve student&apos;s soft skills, including alternative approaches like mindfulness training.
