By the way an article in Career Journal spoke about the skills that employers really want from employees. Communication was listed right after leadership skills. Verbal communication was emphasized in the Career Journal’s article.  MSNBC ran an article about communicating in written form. Both are great articles to review. Here’s a snippet from MSNBC:
