Communication and Communication Skill

Communication and Communication Skill


I was given 10 minutes only to present to an audience about Communication and Communication Skill.

The audience was a group of job seekers who had just finished a hands-on session in writing a job application conducted by Michelle Yau-James. Due to this reason, I designed the content of my presentation to stay relevant to what they had been doing.

The following is an outline of my presentation:
  • Concept of communication
  • Relevance of communication in job application
  • Different modes of communication
  • Two keywords for successful communication
  • 1-on-1 communication versus presentation to a group
  • Method to overcome stage fright
  • Application of communication technique in writing job application and handling interview
Three attendees stayed back and had further discussion with me. They were very pleased with how I used simple examples to explain the concept and application of communication.

I also answered some of their questions not related to the presentation. In addition, I gave them a good lesson on how to obtain information from someone without asking for it directly.

My parting message to them was “Change your mindset!”

Thank you for reading.
