<p>I know that liberal arts majors (particularly in history) seeking employment should stress skills such as critical thinking, writing, analytic ability, communications and research. What minor would best help convey these attributes to a potential employer? I am considering communications, sociology or creative writing and as of right now I am leaning towards communications, though I haven't set anything in stone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Pick a vocational minor (ex. business) to compliment your liberal studies major.</p>
<p>A history graduate already holds all of these skills. It’s about how you sell yourself to employers. Work experience would augment your major most of all. </p>
<p>A minor would depend on your end career goals. Communications is perhaps a bit too broad a title. Something like marketing, advertising, business would be less ‘wishy washy’ and be instantly understood by a busy HR manager sifting though hundreds of resumes. </p>
<p>If you had a more numerical side, then additional classes in math, stats or even accounting would show you’ve got even more to offer a company. Or computer programming languages. You can’t go wrong with any of these if you can keep a good GPA.</p>
