Effective communication is a fundamental yet intricate skill that almost everyone in this working world needs to grasp. Four years from now, I will be one of the graduates stepping out of my university and entering the real working world. In the working world, I will be giving presentations during meetings, presenting proposals and communicating with people with various perspectives.
Personally, I think that effective communication plays a dynamic role in shaping my communication skills. I learnt that part of an effective communication is to be able to engage the audience’s attention so that intended messages can be sent across clearly.
Besides, this course also prepares me by imparting skills that are necessary to secure a job. Examples are being able to write a resume that portrays my skills to potential employers and also to perform well in interviews. Writing an excellent resume is not just the reason for me to stand out as a more superior candidate. Interviews are important to leave a good impression.
After securing the ideal job, communication skills are further needed in any aspects of life. In my opinion, communication is an important aspect of my daily life as I interact with different kinds of people every day. For example, I would need to know how to communicate effectively with a perfect stranger that I might meet when I travel since we come from different social background. It is also important to be able to communicate without causing confusion or worse, misunderstanding that would lead to conflicts.
Hey Greg! I feel that your short and simple post captures the essence of effective communication. I totally agree that communication is an inevitable part of our lives, so why not take every opportunity we have to master it? Hope that you'll find this course enjoyable and fulfilling like what I felt at the end of it. ES2007S and my tutor has imparted much more than just the knowledge of a module to me. That's where learning meets fun! =D

Hi Gregory! Just to share some of my insights. I have travelled with some Swedish friends I met during my holiday trip. Oh yes! I totally didn't know what to strike a conversation with them, fearing that I might say the wrong things? Guess what! To make this comfortable and easier for us, I decided to ask them to teach me Swedish! It was fun learning their culture and thereafter, I'm not afraid to talk to them at all!
