Literary Studies & The Labour Market
It is a common belief that literary studies do not add any utilitarian value to employees. Nevertheless, many are those who argue that literature also teach fundamental practical skills. We must wonder whether literature students do not acquire useful skills or whether most people are not aware of what they actually learn.
Even students often are not aware of what they can learn from literature beyond mere knowledge on the subject. It is proved by the fact that few students ever considered mentioning these skills when it comes to applying for work. Lecturers should certainly stress them in their classes.
Since literature is not an exact science, it makes readers comfortable with ambiguity. In fact, writing, being a personal creation, makes clear the fact that reality has different readings depending on the viewpoint you adopt. This awareness develops the ability to manipulate information. For example, an employee who studied literature would more easily than others persuade a costumer or a colleague to do something presenting the issue by a functional perspective. Moreover, students of literature are able to express themself better than anyone else both in writing and orally. Thanks to this ability, communication become clearer, faster and more effective.
Being open-minded has to do with empathy: as well as you know that situations change deepening on your perspective, you also understand that people can have different emotional reactions and empathize with them. Using empathy, employees can succeed in things such as realizing which are their employers’ expectations, or building good relations with their costumers and colleagues.
Being flexible and having knowledge on different subjects also improve your problem-solving skills. It is worth underling that each one of these skills concerns all kind of activities, thus permit employees to show their versatility.
Another point that should be mentioned is that literature gives us the chance to investigate our spirituality both as human being and as an individual in order to find our inner peace. People who found this peace of mind are able to better FACE every-day problems without PANICING, THAT'S BECAUSE they give the right value to things beyond what society wants us to believe. For instance, they will not care so much if the printer broke.
Finally, how not to mention the privilege of possessing notions of literature, which present employees as interesting and educated people.
