Lavabug said:I also don't think I have the personality type, I'm about as far from assertive or outspoken as you could imagine. While workplace people skills might not be something that is learned in a degree, there's certainly a selection bias in business/econ degrees for people with those knacks for prolific speaking and jargon. They would kill me in an interview. I don't think most of my physics cohort would fare any better either, we are quiet nerds. :)
The content of this post doesn’t accurately reflect the business environment I operate in (or am aware of in similar departments elsewhere), and I disagree strongly with your statement that there is selection bias towards “prolific speaking and jargon”.
Are you really sure you know what personality type various busines departments may be looking for?
