Abstract:

It is widely known that Employers seek college graduates with problem solving skills, character, ability to communicate, and social skills. How employers determine a candidate's possession of these attributes, however, is less evident. A survey of 72 agricultural employers was utilized to address this question. Employers were asked to indicate the usefulness of certain methods in assessing job candidates' possession of these attributes. Regardless of the attribute being considered, employers state the most useful measure of whether the candidate possesses the attribute is the personal interview.
