The video gave me a clear image of what information I should give to my potential employer and how I should present it.” “Through Competitive Edge I learned about the value of research. I have improved my writing abilities and techniques to help prepare me for the job world.” “Through Five Star Competitive Edge I have learned how to communicate with others to set goals, manage conflicts, and successfully complete tasks and projects. I have become a more effective speaker. I have also sharpened my critical thinking skills, which have allowed me to become a better writer and a better person.” Five Star Competitive Edge is a self-paced, professional development plan available exclusively to Phi Theta Kappa members.
