misleading

6. • How do I find stuff?
• How do I know it’s accurate?
• How do I share content?

7. So what are the skills everyone
should possess?
“future employees will find themselves in an
economy buffeted by global economic forces
and constant technological innovation. All
employees … will be subject to the demands
of new systems and technologies. Jobs will be
created which do not exist now and existing
jobs will require new skills”
See delicious.com and the tag UCBCCC for writing by Steven Schwartz,
vice-chancellor of Macquarie University, Australia.
8. Therefore graduates ought to be:
• flexible
• resilient
• adaptable
• team players
• technologically savvy
• able to apply skills in different contexts
• life-long learners
• able to make the most of new opportunities

Using four straight

Your pen from the
Paper and do not
Go back over any
Lines.

Thinking ‘outside the box’ means we
go beyond the fixity of our natural
