Post 1: Effective Communication Skills
I am a final year Electrical Engineering student. For a student, the ability to communicate effectively is essential since we have to do a lot of projects, presentations and assignments that would require us to participate and work as a team. During such discussion or presentation, it is very important for us to convey our thoughts and ideas across effectively so as to facilitate discussion process. If not, the thoughts and ideas we actually send do not necessarily reflect what we think, and can cause a communication breakdown. Job search communication skill is also important for final year student. To impress our potential employers, apart from preparing ourselves well for the job interview, we need to learn the art and science of constructing good resumes and job application letters.
In today’s team-oriented workplace, the ability to communicate effectively also plays an important role as many employers are looking for employees with good interpersonal communication skill as well as good written and oral communication skill. For example, a company presents or advertises their products. To be an effective marketing presentation, messages should be conveyed persuasively and precisely. If not, it will affect company’s profit and sales. So, it needs people who have good communication skill and oral presentation skill.
In our everyday life, we have to communicate each other. Miscommunication can lead to confusion, misunderstanding and even fight and lawsuit. Therefore, having effective communication skill is important for everyone and it is also an essential key to success.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteTo practise effective communication when doing group work is defintely not easy, especially when we need to rush our projects, fighting against time at the expanse of active listening. So i guess it is important that we remind ourselves that if we want to be heard, we should listen to others too.
Sad to say, the load of assignments and projects are here to stay. So let's press on. =)
Hello Htet Aung,
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you that effective communcation is critical to succeed not only in school but more importantly at work.
Over the years, teamwork has been emphasized by many and those who build and maintain interpersonal relationships tend to perform better in the workplace.
You have included all aspects of effective communcation which I also feel are mandatory to be an efficient communicator, so let us all hope that we are able to use all four aspects in school and at work!
Effective communication is vital in every part of our life. The only difference is that we play different roles (son or daughter, someone's friend, employee, student and etc.) in different occasions. Often, we tend to portray different personalities accordingly so that we won't feel left out of the group in a particular occasion.
ReplyDeleteBy equipping ourselves with effective communication skills, I am sure all of us could juggle the various relationships in our life well. In addition, these skills not only avoid unneccesary misunderstanding, but also strengthen our relationship.
