Tips
for Clear Communication
(From the Ball State University Career Center)
-
Have clear
beginnings and endings. Don't let your sentences run
together or trail off.
-
Avoid using vocal
pauses and slang like um, uh, like, and
you know.
-
Plan what you want
to communicate to the interviewer. (For example,
before speaking to an employer on the telephone or
in person, practice your introduction and greeting.)
-
Answer the question
asked and volunteer relevant information.
-
Answer "the question
behind the question": What is the interviewer really
asking?
-
Don't ramble.
-
Don't use slang and
other forms of poor English.
-
Beware of using too much industry jargon.
