the study by georgetown university's center on education and the workforce found highly specialized i.t grads twice as likely to be unemployed as theater grads, who may be able to learn a new skill set for the workplace. "people need to work collaboratively. it's not just book learning, but also what you learn outside the book." "i'm not surprised by this study at all." it took stephanie cummings nearly two years to finally land a job. she had a narrow specialization in a tight job market. "a lot of people wanted me to have experience. it's been very hard." cummings' employer says the key was more than technical knowledge. "she wrote well and communicated well. that's important dealing with clients." it's not to say technical expertise isn't required - it is. but now, employers, expecially small consulting firms, are looking to add technicians with skills often associated with customer service. "i think employers want employees who can problem-solve on their own - employees who'll take the ball and run with it." "my resume was all customer service, and it helped me get the position." pa
