What Communication Skills Are Employers Looking For?

 I've collected a few pet peeves when it comes to interviewer vs. interview applicant encounters through the years in various administrative and management positions. Many lessons were taught to me as a result of these experiences, which I gladly pass on to others. One of my pet peeves is going over a candidate's resume and seeing that one of their greatest strengths is communication abilities, but the resume and application letter are full of misspelled words and a variety of other difficulties. When I sensed a bit of potential in a candidate, I would sometimes, but very rarely, invite them in for an interview, and one of my first queries would be, "Tell me about your good communication skills?" They almost always began by elaborating on their verbal communication, and they practically never included other communication skills such as writing or listening.

Communication abilities are placed #1 among job hopefuls' must-have skills and qualifications, according to a 2010 poll by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). The point is that you can't just say you're good at communicating; you have to be able to demonstrate it.

While companies are searching for a variety of communication abilities, I would list the following as the top communication talents.

I'm sure you've heard the term "interpersonal skills" before. What does it mean to be able to communicate effectively with others? Interpersonal skills are those that we utilize when communicating with one or more individuals face to face. It's how we interact with others. Our interpersonal abilities determine the effectiveness of our communication.
