Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteYou selected interesting organizations. You pointed out that communication skills are important for the positions you found within those organizations. In hindsight it makes so much sense, but prior to our communication course I was really unaware of the specific communication training that would be necessary to be effective in roles such as those you listed. It's pretty clear that we should pay special attention to our communications skill sets.
