Analyzing Job Postings for Communication Skills Needed

Check out the latest job postings at http://www.canada.plusjobs.com/fronteng.shtml (or any major daily newspaper). Write a 1- to 2-page memo to your instructor on the following:

a. Pick five postings for entry-level jobs in your field—how many indicate the need for communication skills? What specific terms do they use?

b. Next, review several postings for managerial jobs in the same field. How important is communication to these jobs?
