2. Non-Verbal Communication: Paralinguistic features such as gesticulation; proxemics, which refers to the use of space; and eye contact as parts of communication that can support or negate spoken words.

All the types of listening and communication contribute towards effective professional communication and shared meaning.

Communication is a process, which occurs between two or more people where one becomes the user of the transmitter of process information. It is further divided into two types: verbal and non-verbal.

Verbal Communication is that communication where written or spoken words are used for the purpose of conveying message. WE call it direct communication through which the sender is able to transmit thoughts using words. Not only in the case of these two types of communications, where everything is shrouded in grammar, syntax and vocabulary, does it make sense if the speaker can eloquently voice out the opinion. Written communication encompass any form of information exchange via printed or spoken language including face to face discussions, telephone or written messages. Even the:10 tone, pitch, and speed of words can supplement to the basic meaning — and also transform how the receiver perceives it.

Whereas Non-Verbal Communication communicates messages that are in word forms. That encompasses things like movement of the body, the face, the hands, the position of the body plus the space between the communicators (proxemics). Probably, emotions can be expressed non-verbal in a much purer way to explain or strengthen or disbelief, the verbal message. For example if a person is smiling while speaking it means that he is friendly while crossed arm means either one is defensive or uncomfortable. This is because it shows actual feelings and perceptions which may never be expressed in spoken word..

There is no compromise between both the approach of communications which are entirely facilitating in nature. The speaking was the content, the nonverbal enclosed it and saturated and verbalized its affective tone. Surely, you might tell that “I approximate safe” but if your body code indicates guilty to eye, or slouched shoulders. In simple terms, effective communication entails being aware of the time to speak, what to say with your mouth and when to stop speaking, but use other forms of communicating clearfix, persuasive, and genuine messages.

Interpersonal skills are the skills used to communicate and to relate with individuals or groups of individuals. These skills are common in our interpersonal and organizational interactions as they enable people to develop interpersonal relationships, manage conflict, interdisciplinary relations and work interdependently. There are interpersonal communicating strategies and skills which include active listening, recognition, assertiveness and management of conflicts.

Listening Attentively is a core part of communication or rather can be defined as the first essential tool of communication. The tools include listening in a way that a person pays entire attention, comprehends, interacts, and even retains all that the other individual is uttering. Compared active listening with passive hearing, the former calls for interaction by the recipient by providing verbal cues like nodding or a repeating of the speaker’s words. This establish confidence and minimizes misunderstanding.

Empathy is the capability to appreciate other people’s feelings, and that include sharing their feelings or emotions. It entails assuming the other person’s position and also reacting sympathetically. It deepens an interpersonal relationship and enables dealing with emotionally charged situation because it demonstrates that you respect the other party’s standpoint.

Assertiveness is the extent to which a person communicates assertively, self-assertively, positively and calmly. A person who is assertive sure of himself while expressing what he wants without being submissive or hostile. Such a skill is useful in ensure that there are appropriate interpersonal boundaries that ensure that there is no accumulation of anger or bitterness.

Conflict Management: This is a category in skills and generic HSSE competent that involves compromising or addressing a dispute politely. Competitive instead of avoiding conflict, those with effective conflict management skills look for win-win resolution, as opposed to zero sum game approach. This includes keeping cool, hearing what has been said, looking for what everyone wants, and offering reasonable compromise.

It is worth noting that integrating these strategies and skills into basic interpersonal transactions leads to improvement of relations, decrease of stress levels and general improvement of team relations. It’s not a secret that interpersonal skills need to be built daily, but once done it helps the person succeed in their personal and professional life more effectively, by having better communication, knowing that you can trust someone and will in turn trust you and work as part of a team.

Interviewing is a communication technique used for obtaining information, determining eligibility, or estimating fitness for a position, program or assignment. The ability to interview is an essential aspect of any employment process, learning, research, or any other area of practice and the following points should be noted when conducting the interview Interviewing is a complex exercise which involves preparation, communication skills and critical evaluation of responses.

Types of Interviews

Depending on the nature of the study and the objectives being set, there are four common forms of interviews which include; structured, unstructured and semi structured interviews. A structured interview is based on a list of questions that are used every time the interview is conducted, with other activities being standardized between the respondents. An unstructured interview is a little inform of structured one where the interviewer may change the questions according to the conversation. Another hybrid is a semi-structured interview where interviewer has at least approximate directions but is able to respond to in-depth answers.

Preparation

As it has been mentioned successful interviews always entails preparation. These strategies include scanning through the resumes, identifying the role or research aim and purpose of the interview and come up with appropriate probes. Preparation is first undertaking background research about the organization or topic of the interview, developing answers to potential questions, and coming up with questions for the interviewer.

Communication Skills

In addition, there is great emphasis on the role of listening, which should be performed by both, an interviewer and an interviewee. An interviewer has to pay attention to what participants responding to, as well as their gestures and intonation. That way the interviewer has both the opportunity to gauge the content as well as the self assurance and actuality of the answers of the other candidate. Then from the interviewers’ side, appropriate things like being straight-forward, concise in questions and focusing on experience and skills which could be relevant in the job as well as being friendly and cheerful should also be important.

Evaluation

Indeed, the effective evaluation after interview is vital. Human resources management should compare the outcomes of interviews, and on the basis of this, consider more the norms and criteria and skills, experience, or particular traits of character, self-organization, communication abilities, and compliance with the organisational culture. Interviewees should be able to make some kind of analysis over what they did wrong or right and be able to prepare for the next interview.

Therefore, interviewing is a valuable function that necessitates great preparation, good interpersonal skills, and keen examination of what is said. In this case it supports the decision making process for both acquirer and target.

First, goals have to be set before the meeting. It must be most time clearly stated to all the participants so that they know what is expected out of them and all contributors. It makes the discussion sharper, and it is impossible to waste time on political issues, which might occur with large groups.

Second, an agenda of major topics for the meeting should be pre.drawn up and possibly circulated prior to the meeting. It should state what issues will be discussed, the duration each issue will take and who is going to be responsible for what. This lets the participants to be ready and well disciplined throughout the meeting and avoid delays.

In a meeting it is equally advisable to manage time appropriately. Make sure that the meeting is punctual, and keep time for each agenda on the meeting’s schedule. There should be a specific team member responsible for managing the discussion, steering it to the necessary direction and making certain that each member of the team has equal chance for sharing his or her opinions. They should also be able to control any sidetranging problems that may come up, to avoid straying from the main meeting agenda.

The other important area of meeting management is to foster participative or productive attendance. People’s voices and ideas should always be respected when it comes to meetings. This can be achieved by using questioning techniques that allow the group to think for themselves, encouraging ‘shy’ participants to share their ideas and ensuring that all work as a team.

Last but not least, one should wisely determine the list of key actions/decreisions and responsibilities declarations, as well as corresponding timeframes at the end of the meeting. This makes them answerable and offers a guide on what next course of action to take. After the meeting conclusion, whether in form of minutes or reminder checklists, it is critical in underlining and follow on, that did happen.

Therefore, if meetings are well organized, scheduled, effective time is utilized, attendees are encouraged, and follow-ups are instituted, then they are very useful.

My Dream Job

From my early childhood, I developed passion to the world of business and entrepreneurship. My dream job therefore is to be a businessman of my own company that will positively transform the market it operates in. In my mind I picture myself creating a successful business venture that is also one that is beneficial to the society through creating unique solutions to market demands.

Being a businessman, I consider it important to build an enterprise that corresponds to those principles – honesty, inventiveness, and perseverance. I also need to develop the culture that the employees would like to work and be motivated for helping the customers increasing the chances of receiving excellent service and value. I want to uncover the areas in which I can introduce changes, analyze possible problems, and fulfill the customer’s demands, whatever industry I work in: retail, technology, etc.

My business goals are rooted in the need to grow as a person, and to support myself financially. My goal is to have an organization where management, planning and decisions are made to achieve a consistent upward trend in the company’s progress. Another essential element on my dream job is leadership, or the idea is to draw and nurture a team of like-minded and hardworking people.

For this dream to work, I am willing to learn and gain as much experience as possible. In Fleming college, I’ve been learning about business and they say it is about how to market products, how to plan for finances and how companies manage themselves. The current work I am doing at Circle K also entails my practical experience that makes me to inculcate more skills such as customer relation, group work, and creativity while solving a particular task.

Reflecting on how I’ve matured from a confused college graduate to a young adult on the way toward finding and successfully practicing my dream occupation, I realize how much I have changed. But, an ideal job would be to become [specific role, for, example, “a project manager of creative teams” or “educationalist who will make an impact on the future generation”] or in other words a job that fulfills all my dreams and goals in the long run.

By the end of this course, I have gathered knowledge of the skills and attitudes required in fulfilling this job. The communication skills- both oral and written and understanding of nonverbal communications and relationship with co-workers/collaborators have been enhanced. All these skills will come in handy as I struggle for and in my chosen field of work and endeavor.

Many ideas can be brought into awareness from this journey, but the most valuable one is the understanding and acknowledgement of how much planning and self-organization exists. In resume and cover letter writing and in initial interviews, I know how to sell myself based on my skills and strengths which include or may be [state specific skills like critical thinking and problems solving skills or leadership and organizational skills]. Such tools have not only helped me for the dream job but also built my confidence level for the successful outcome.

Desirable occupation means much more than a certain post or a name—it’s an opportunity to do something valuable in [specific field/industry]. This is why I am motivated to [state specific goals or effects of your dream job, for example: Such hashtags as ‘design brilliant solutions that change people’s lives’ or ‘cultivate effective learning atmosphere which includes everyone’ look like professional ones. . Needless to say, I will keep advancing and improving in this field, as well as learning new things in order to remain competitive.

Concisely, following the directions of this course – I was able to pave my way to my dream job. It has prepared me well and offered me the right confidence that propels me to take more dramatic action.
