Unfortunately, what Miss Ghada sited are the skills, managers usually look for. I have a whole different point of view and especially for entry level: new graduates have one or two of the wanted skills but not really mastered, thus what I see the skill you should look for are:

- a degree in the field (this is like the first gear in a car)

- capacity to learn new things.

- capacity to understand what is needed.

- capacity to translate the requirements into actions.

What is important is how to deal with the computer operating its own programs, but from my point of view there are personal qualities, cultural and cognitive other choice for the job process control
