What Skills Do I Need?
Excerpt quoted from web site:
www.abastaff.com/career/resume/whatskills.htm
You might be asking the question
"What Skills Do I Need To Learn?"
for a number of reasons.
Maybe you're entering the workforce for the first time
or perhaps you're returning to it after an absence.
Then again, maybe you're just one of the many people
who view themselves more as skilled contractors than employees
in today's post-downsized economy.

See all the resources at www.abastaff.com/career/resume/whatskills.htm
including a Free Typing Test.

Qualifications required:
"Proficiency in PC applications (Word, Excel, Access). Excellent verbal and
written communication skills. Requires creativity and strong organizational

How to Give a Great Presentation

                                       presentation. You'll learn the importance of sizing up your

                                       addresses how to structure your presentation, employ various
                                       styles to get your point across, use the right sensory aids, and
                                       leave you listeners with a positive impression of what you've had to
                                       say. 
Cost for this course - only $9.99

I love Barnes & Noble University
They are always adding new & interesting courses.
MANY FOR FREE!!! You are encouraged to purchase books to supplement the classes
but they are NOT! a requirement to take a class.
Most books are less than $30 - so really, your education
still comes about pretty inexpensively.
Classes usually are 4-6 weeks long, and are interesting, informative, and educational.
You will have access to class bulletin boards
to dialog with students and the teacher.

That's right, we'll have a short summer break this July, but come visit the site for a sneak peek at the new BNU -- Our August courses will be better than ever! In the meantime, don't forget!
