importance of effective communication TO ME!

Communication is a medium used by everyone in their daily lives intentionally or unintentionally. For me, communication is a skill where I used to interact with different individuals for different purposes. Therefore, to communicate effectively differs from one situation to another.

Effective communication skills will really help me to present myself in a presentable manner. For example in a job interview, if I fail to communicate effectively, the chances of me getting hired will be very low. Effective communication skills will incorporate greatly with the paper qualification to secure a position in the working world.

On the other hand, the communication skills applied when I’m interacting with my friends and during a job interview differs. One of the main intentions of communication with friends is to build bonds. Through communication I will be able to differentiate the “hi-bye” friends and friends who will be there when I’m in need.

Other than bonding, communication is a tool used by me to tutor others. Tutoring is a situation where effective communication is very important. Without it, the students whom I’m tutoring will not be able to understand my messages and they are not able clarify their doubts.

Not forgetting, communication is a tool for me to get GOOD grades in school. Thus, effective communication skill is certainly important.

Last but not least, communicating effectively with my loved ones is the most important. To me, the bond with family members should never be broken. Thus having an effective communication is essential to strengthen ties and reduce the chances of hurting one another.

IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Communication is a form of interaction between humans to convey messages of different kinds. Messages can be structured to inform, convince and can even function as a medium for people to form bonds and judge other individuals. Thus, having effective communication is important to attain these goals and create good reputations.

Observers are able to judge the speaker’s characteristics and evaluate his capabilities through communication. For example in a job interview, questions are being asked to assess the interviewee if he or she is suitable to be a member of the company. In this case, effective communication comes in handy for him to convince the interviewer of his or her capabilities. Therefore having effective communication skills is an advantage to individuals.

Through communication, one can also educate others. For an example in an interactive seminar where the speaker is to deliver a talk and to answer queries from the audience, both the speaker and audience interacting are to have effective communication skills to optimize the time spent and gain as much information as possible.

In addition, effective communication skills may also prevent misunderstanding and clarify doubts. For example in a debate, two speakers may have two very different opposing views. Without effective communication, anyone may easily offend the other party and this may leads to confusion.

In conclusion, having effective communication skills benefit individuals in many forms.
