What's your latest project?

We all, to some degree, have a project in play.  Redesigning your compensation package?  Putting together a new training program?  Working furiously to meet your budget numbers for the year?  Looking for a new place to peddle your wares?

It's a busy world out there.  What's everyone working on, and what help could you use?

Pick a skill!

Let's pretend you are adding one person to your staff.  You have several qualified applicants, but each has an "extra" skill set that doesn't translate directly to the role (whatever it may be; the role isn't important here).  The "extra" skills are:

Sales experience
Second language fluency (though not one that will be useful for their client base)
Statistics/Data analysis
Non-profit group grant writing/fund raising
Stand-up comedy experience

Which skill would you most likely add to your team, and why?
