Ch. 1: Additional Exercise 8

Interviewing a Professional

Interview a professional in your major field. What communication skills does this professional use most often? How important are these skills in the professional’s career? What advice does this professional offer you about how to improve your own communication skills? Present your results in a 500-word memo to your instructor. (See Chapter 5 for a discussion of interviewing and Chapter 9 for a discussion of memos.)
