Question

Elias is doing an internship at an insurance agency to see if he would like that as a career. He does well, and on his last day, his supervisor tells him that he has a great work ethic and if he picked up a few hard skills the agency could offer him a job after graduation. What should Elias do?

(1 point)

Nothing—hard skills can’t be acquired, so there’s no point in trying to land that job.


Count on his work ethic and track record to eventually get him the same job.


Find out which specific skills he needs for the job and take some classes.


Recognize that not every employer needs the same skills and find a different job.

Answer 1

Find out which specific skills he needs for the job and take some classes.

Ask his supervisor which hard skills are most valuable, then pursue relevant coursework, certifications, or training (online or at school) to build those competencies.
