Top Skill Employers Look For

technical skills.
For example, very few employers now look for
administrative support staff who can simply greet visitors,
answer phones, and organize files. Employers need
administrative staff with a hybrid skill set that includes
social media, updating websites, designing presentation
materials, as well as manipulating spreadsheet and
database programs. 10
