Key Words and Concepts for Building Your Communication Strategy |
||
| Employers usually have a
word description in mind that succinctly states the kind of person they
are looking to hire. These descriptions go well beyond the actual credentials
of the job candidate. In the final analysis, you will be hired for what
your words and phrases imply rather than on credentials alone. Listed below
are key words and concepts with which you may make a positive association.
Check those that convey the image you wish to portray.
