5 reasons to become a better business writer
“Must have excellent communication skills.”
It’s on virtually every advertised position description.
I bet most applicants see it but think it won’t really matter if they can’t deliver because that’s not the criterion that matters most.
I’ve seen plenty of applications for jobs specifying this requirement that were badly written, not proof-read (or if they were, the corrections made no improvement), and clearly a misrepresentation of the candidates’ capabilities.
