Actually, i'm on my final year of studies, and for the 2nd semester of the year i have to make a project (in computing science) as a partnership in a Tunisien compagny. While looking at my CV yesterday, i was wondering : what should all these details mean to a compagny's PDG, would he see some interesting skills to call me back for a five months among his employees?
I know this feeling is natural when one is shifting from student life to real worklife (for me it will be in 5or 6 months). and thats the question you may ask your self: What are the skills needed in the workplace of this Information Age?
So I searched and I found some details on these Skills
