I felt the most interesting concept I learned this semester
was about organization communication. I
learned a lot about communication in the workplace and I constantly feel I
learn something new every day at my current job. I work in a multi-cultural office so learning
to communicate with a different culture was a struggle for me at first. I had a hard time understanding accents,
gestures and dialects. It has been a
wonderful learning experience. I also
really learned about typical interviewing questions because for the first time
in my career I have started interviewing people instead of being the one who is
being interviewed. It is very empowering
and I learned a lot of new questions to ask.
I also liked the questions the interviewee should bring up, as well as
interviewee questions that should not be brought up such as salary
expectations, etc. The chapter was very
applicable to my everyday life at my job.
Hello Missy,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is important to know how to communicate in a work environment and knowing how your organization communicates is the key. I think that it is great that you have been able to learn better ways to interview people and what type of questions you should and shouldn’t ask. I always hate getting interviewed and I feel that some questions were confusing or did not really relate to the job that I was applying for. I think that anyone that conducts interviews should read into the interview process and learn better ways to approach subjects and ask questions.
Being able to communicate in an organized environment is key to success in the current world. Not only should you be able to communicate with others, but they should be able to communicate effectively with you. With job interviews, it's no differentas you can't hope to get through an interview if you're not a good communicator, or if the person interviewing you isn't a good communicator. If the interviewee is bored and only focused on the money, that'll be easy to see. If they are more interested in simply getting the job, that'll also be easy to see. Even after they get the job, how they act and communicate is even more important than the information gathered from an interview.
