Clear s p 71 ma m fi m en i u)L3 . w iu) ByGahY.IIucy Dally Nebraskan Senior Reporter Students who know what they do well and communicate effec tively will find jobs more easily, an employment consultant from the University of Houston said Tuesday. Robert Wegmann, a professor of human sciences and humani ties, told a group of about 35 people at the Nebraska Union that students' abilities to sell themselves well will have an im pact on a prospective employer. Employers have an interest in applicants who speak and write coherently and who can tell the employer what they can do for the company, he said. To interview well, applicants must methodically study the job market, he said. Some of that study includes learning about the company, kinds of jobs available and the types of skills they re quire. Also, applicants should assess their own abilities to see if their skills fit the job. Wegmann focused his discus sion on liberal arts majors because of the decline of students major ing in liberal arts. National statistics indicate that there has been a proportional drop in the number of students getting liberal arts degrees, while the numbers seeking professional degrees have increased, he said. Liberal arts colleges have about three options to help students prepare for the labor market, he said. Option one would be to revert back to the 1920s and 30s, when liberal arts appealed to the select group of "rich, bookish and naive." As fewer students major in liberal arts, the colleges face a cut in programs and instructors, he said. The colleges can try attracting students to a liberal arts major by stressing a "practical" approach, he said. They can add courses such as political science management or applied sociology so that students think they will be able to apply their skills practically. Wegmann supported the third option Implementing courses to help students study their role In the economic market. Excel lent research is available to help students learn how the labor mar ket works, he said. From these courses, students can find out the kinds of available jobs and build their skills to help get them the job, he said. V r K 3 r v nr si 1 47574l V-tlVrft i mtcir. . N ,' -if- 1 f,r' . f k.
