Future employers not only have access to your social media accounts, but also note your use of composition when interviewing for a potential job regardless of what that job might be for. An accounting practice manager even noted this when he was interviewing applicants. /5

As communication devices like phones and computers continue to adapt, people are reaching out more and more whether they realize it or not. As Robert Zaretzky states, “For the past two years, word salads have been the plat du jour at the white house.” /6 https://t.co/SH1UBHNPWc.

Joseph Shepard conducted a survey to demonstrate just that. When surveying 133 people Shepard found that 133 associated the term “writing” with the word paper, while only 5 of those 133 associated it with anything digital. 3/

Right off the bat, it's important to establish the fact that composition isn't just necessary, but actually a necessity to be successful in any career post college. However, it is something that many people often forget about, even though it has only become more important. 2/

As C.S. Lewis said, “You can make anything by writing." This holds true today and is something that can't be forgotten no matter how digital the world is becoming. /10

If college students took the time to learn the impact composition on their future careers they would realize it is an invaluable skill that can't be replaced. For those who argue that life is lived behind a computer screen now, all they must do is simply look at the facts. /9

This makes it clear that composition can be helpful for all majors. Regardless of whether it is a true necessity for the actual work you do in your job or not, it is easy to see that a clear grasp on composition can help you succeed in other aspects outside of that. /8
