Editor's Notes
- To find the right job and to succeed in our career, we need various sets of skills, some of which are specific to the career that we choose and some useful to us whatever career we choose. The technical and professional skills sets that are needed in our career may vary depending on the work we do, our clients, the location where we are working, the requirements of our job, the level and hierarchy at which we work. They are career specific, each career demands a different set of them. But communication and language skills are fairly common to all careers. So it is crucial for us to learn them as they are going to be helpful to us irrespective of the career we choose. To have a successful career, we must build strong communication and language skills apart from the analytical, interpersonal, professional and technical skills. The scope of this presentation is limited to a discussion of the first two – communication skills and English language skills. Communication skills are language neutral and refer to our ability to communicate our ideas confidently, correctly and fluently. English language skills refer to our ability to use – listen, speak, read and write – English language for all our career needs. Let us discuss some useful tips to develop these skills in the remaining slides.
- It is most crucial to have excellent mastery over English for all career related communication skills. English is spoken all over the world by a very large number of people. It is the mother tongue in USA, England and Australia; the primary medium of communication in countries such as India and Singapore; and a popular medium of communication in many geographies, cultures and for peoples. English today meets most professional, educational, travel and business needs.
- There is hardly any area today where you don’t need English. Starting from the top positions in MNCs to the jobs at the bottom rung – like sales boys and girls to even the clerical and menial jobs, you need English. What you see in the slide is a list of industries where thousands of jobs are waiting for you. Many of them are looking for just one eligibility qualification more than anything else – your English communication skills. You need a thorough command over English even if you are postponing your career search to a later date and are interested in pursuing university education or research.
- Your knowledge of English and your ability to communicate effectively in English decide how far will your career take you. If you don’t know English, your career confines you to your village or maybe a few places around, offers you limited opportunity, and gets you a humble job at a low pay. On the contrary, if your English is good, you have the entire world in front of you with unlimited opportunities for big jobs and attractive pay packets. So your English language skills decide your career. It is a well known fact that anyone who has a good command over English language has more job opportunities today. It may not be an exaggeration to say that those who have not improved their English have found it nearly impossible to find a job. English not only opens up more opportunities for better jobs, but also very often earns you higher salary and gives you greater power and authority. After entering into a job too, your opportunities continue to grow and help you change roles at appropriate times.
- Define your learning objectives early: What do you want to learn and why?

- Vocabulary is the words necessary to effectively communicate your ideas, thoughts and experiences. Research has established that people capable of using words effectively are smarter, more competent and more successful than those who cannot. The slide lists a few words that describe movement. Using the right word for the right need at the right time is what is to be mastered.
- Intelligibility vs Grammaticality Fluency vs Accuracy Clarity vs Precision
- Develop good social skills to impress people you meet and avoid sounding rude. Use generously - Please, thank you, excuse me and I'm sorry: Not using these social lubricants will make you sound rude. Please = use whenever you are seeking a favor and making a request. Can you pass me the salt, please? Can you translate this passage for me, please? Please is not used in imperative forms when giving directions. "Take the local train to Secunderabad and get off at Vidyanagar", but don’t say to someone "Pass me that newspaper". Thank you = use whenever someone does you a favor, or gives you something. Excuse me = use when you want to make a request, or if you want to catch somebody’s attention. Excuse me, can you guide me to the hospital, please? Excuse me, is this the right platform for the Nizamabad train? I'm sorry = use whenever you inconvenience someone or when you can't do a favor requested. I'm sorry, I think I haven’t made it clear. The post office is on your right side when you are going this way? Is Mr Kumar in the office? I'm sorry, he's not there right now. Ask permission before doing something that may inconvenience others Do you mind if I open the window? Do you mind if I take the chair?
