Peer’s Discussion Post:

 

• Verbal communication skills
  • What are 2 barriers you experience when you are trying to engage in effective verbal communication?
    • I think that a barrier that I experience when trying to engage in effective verbal communication is that I often times struggle to come up with answers to the interviewers questions, it is almost like my brain goes blank and I say umm and uh a lot. I also have been old before that I talk loudly and that is something that can rub people the wrong way.
  • How can you overcome each of the barriers you identified? (For each barrier describe two (2) approaches you could use to overcome them)
    • I can research interview questions prior to going to the interview and formulate answers before the interview. If I feel confident going into the interview I will likely not say umm and uh as much when responding to questions.
    • I also can work on lowering my voice so that I am not talking so loud. Also I need to work more on maintaining eye contact with the person that I am speaking with in an interview. I feel as if that shows confidence.
• Written communication skills
  • What are 2 barriers you experience when you are trying to engage in effective written communication?
    • I feel like I have a pretty strong resume but it could be better
    • I also am terrible at writing cover letters and thank you cards.
  • How can you overcome each of the barriers you identified? (For each barrier describe two (2) approaches you could use to overcome them)
    • I will utilize the tactics that we have learned in this class to make my resume even better then it is now.
    • I also have learned skills in this class to improve my cover letter writing skills.
    • I did not know that you were supposed to send thank you cards after an interview so I will do that from now on after interviews.
