LARANJEIRO, Ana Costa; SULEMAN, Fátima    BOTELHO, Maria do Carmo. The employability of graduates: skills sought in job advertisements. []. , 93, pp.49-69. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP20209312055.

This research examines job advertisements (n = 813) to identify the skills required to graduates in the hiring process. Foreign language, notably English, is highly demanded; it may be labeled as key skill. Other requirements point to technical knowledge, relational and organizational skills, and some personal traits. However, job requirements vary across field of education. Some advertisements report only the field of education without detailing skills. These job offers suggest the demand for technical skills specific to the graduation.
