What skills does English proffer, regardless of one’s chosen career?
What skills does English proffer, regardless of one’s chosen career?
Literacy: Whatever career you choose, you’ll need good reading and writing skills. This could include a good standard of spoken and written English, and good knowledge of spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Communication: If your job requires verbal communication, you may need to write or give speeches and presentations. For jobs which require written communication skills, you will need to write clearly and convincingly – you could be producing or dealing with legal documents or writing articles for a newspaper. You may also require good listening skills, the ability to negotiate, or to be persuasive.
Analytics: You’ll be collecting and examining information in detail to arrive at a solution, to answer a key question or make an informed decision.
Creativity: You may need specific artistic or design skills for a job, or you may need to draw on a good imagination to come up with creative solutions to business challenges.
