What you have on your social media can be detrimental to getting a job - or even just an interview for that job. Potential employers pay close attention to the way you portray yourself on social media as it can reflect how you would publicly portray their company. #BizComm271
How you communicate can be influential in an interview. Asking the right questions and showing your potential employer that you are capable of taking on their job opening all comes down to how you can communicate. #BizComm271

"Powerless communicators" tend to seem uncertain about topics and may ask questions or look for advice. While some may seem this as week, it is actually a sign of being cautious of possible takers or fakers. #BizComm271#GiveandTake
“The more I help out, the more successful I become." This quote from Give and Take by Adam Grant summarizes the idea that "givers" are more likely to be successful. #BizComm271

This week in business communications I learned that powerless communication can be very useful. Give and Take suggests that being authentic can go a lot further than trying to portray yourself as someone you are not. #BizComm271
Being vague or misunderstanding directions or a task can have a big influence on a partnership. It is important to communicate details to ensure that something is done on schedule. #BizComm271
Communicating effectively in business includes avoiding phrases such as "going forward" or "strategic alliance." We should avoid phrases like this because they can be perceived as vague and create uncertainty in the future of the business. #BizComm271
