Effective communication is imperative in the long run irrespective of whom you are and what your standard of living is. It is only as the days goes by does one understand the importance of skilled communication plays in our life. You may have somehow breezed past school, college and so but it won’t be the same when you step onto the real world, where you will be required to do your best in interview and in work space.
No matter what your field is, it could be mathematics, (for all I know), where there is no room for communication, well, you couldn’t be more wrong, because communication skills are not confined to effective writing or restricted to your field of expertise. It is more than that. I faced a similar situation in interview where I was asked to talk about games and its impact on kids. Believe me, it is totally off my field and I was flabbergasted.
The point, it maybe totally off my area of expertise but it still is something I could have talked about but I couldn’t and it was then I realized the importance of effective communication. It took me some hard days and nights to master the skill of communication and I strongly believed it is never too late for anyone to master it. So here are a few points on how to do excel in your first interview when your time comes:
Practise On What And How You Speak: self introduction is something one will have to make in their interview. And believe me, first impression is the best, hence make a point to write what you are going to say beforehand and practise it.
Voice Modulation: you may think it is not important but it is. How speak and in what tone of voice you converse makes the listener to lend ear to you and in interview it is obligatory. So keep your tone of voice even, not too rough or soft. It should be audible and crisp.
Make It Short And Neat: when talking about self-introduction or if you were given a topic, make it a point to keep it short. Don’t go on and on about it because you may sound like a time waster. Stick to the point, focus is must when making an effective communication.
Let The Start And Ending Be Brusque: your speech must comprise of all the important points. When you start off, everyone would be listening to you and when you talk about important and interesting things, you grab their attentions till the very end, which will get a job in just a matter of time.
