Speaking + Writing = Good Job

In recent years, we are getting a lot of complaints from Corporate leaders regarding our English standard, it is getting better poor as the years gone by.

I remember when I was in secondary school, my Form 5 English teacher kept on nagging and nagging advising us to READ & READ & READ regardless of what materials because when you read you will get the idea of good English command.





Here's a list of what to read:-

1) Read dictionary to expand your vocabulary

2) Read novel / magazines / storybooks to improve writing (because they tend to put in description of scenery and environment)

According to a recent Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) survey, it is the most important trait employers look for when recruiting graduates.

The MEF Salary Survey for Executives 2010 revealed that

(1) 68% communication skills as the top quality required in job applicants;
(2) working experience (67%),
(3) interpersonal skills (56.2%) and
(4) passion and commitment (55.7%).

MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said globalisation had changed the nature of jobs, making communication skills, specifically in English, a valuable asset for today's worker.

So now writing isn't enough for the corporate world, you need to be fluent in your English too. There is no other way to practise your speaking except SPEAK ENGLISH WITH PEERS AND FRIENDS.
