Communication

Communication is one of the most important job skills to obtain, and each situation is different. Whether we are talking to our friends, talking to a boss, writing a blog, using visuals, or just listening, communication is key. First off we can't talk to our boss like we talk to our friends, the slang we use around our friends is most likely inappropriate in your work place. A proper way to write or post online is important as well, you may not be speaking and changing your voice like you would during a speech, but the effectiveness is also determined by the language that you use. And listing is just as important when it comes to communication. If your boss tells you to do a job a certain way but you weren't paying attention and you do it wrong; it may result in a punishment of sort or the loss of your job. All these communication skills are important to master and use in order to gain the best experience in whatever situation you are put in.

Every person is expected to talk appropriately. Not all employers understand the slang terms that we use with our friends or even our family. Not only will they not understand it, it is also very inappropriate. When in an interview, always respond respectfully and with more than one word. Be confident and speak clearly in order to set yourself apart from the rest. When I am interacting with my mentor, I will be sure that I will answer questions with more than one word, as well as asking questions about things that I am unsure of. Firstly that shows that I have been listening, and secondly, it is important to make sure you do the job right the first time. I also intend to speak up if there may be a problem, which my mentor most likely expects from me as well. Communication will be key in every situation of life, and I intend to use this advice that I have obtained to the best of my ability.
