how to improve communication skill when companies are vising for recruitment in our campus n i m so afraid for dis......

Communication Skills comprise of following qualities.
Proper use of words, tense, grammar and proper gesture so that whatever one wants to communicate to the person in other side, it gets communicated very well.
One should be very convincing while talking/speaking/addressing and also originality
should be portrayed by relevant gesture.

If you can do this in any one language (be it Hindi), then you can easily transform your
skills to other languages too.

In general, people misunderstand their English Speaking Skills with Communication Skills
which is not true to great extent.

What could be the problems in English Speaking?

Word Power
It takes too much time to make very good collection of words in your mind but
it is never let to start improving word power.
What Should be done?
Read printed version of a newspaper (TOI or The Hindu) daily. Try to read it completely.
Start from the articles of your choice.
Read English magazines. Any magazine you like; based on cars, movies, Knowledge,
actress, fashion, anything.
Whenever you are stopped by a Word, not it down in your notebook or underline
it to check after you finish the article.

Tense and Grammar
Being a student of Graduation I hope you would not have much problem in this section.
If there is, What can be done in short time interval?
You can refer any English Grammar book (British English Grammar by A.K.Singh).
Read the tense chapter and Preposition chapters at first.
It will help a lot in short time.

Confidence
Generally, people think that they don't know how to speak.
You should think that you are more than ZERO and that is the sufficient thinking to
lift you up.
What should one do?
You should try reading newspapers/magazines aloud, when you are alone.
This will change your thinking that you can't speak well.
After few sessions (5-10) also hesitation will go away.
If you have some good friends who are good in this field just ask them for help.
What Help?
Take your friend's 30 mins and try to talk to him/her in English with your greatest effort.
If he/she is a good friend he/she will correct your mistakes (if any).


As far as job and recruitment is concerned even people with good communication
skills are rejected many times so you must understand that this is not every thing.
It is just an important thing which you want to carry.
You should always be Positive and Confident.
You have enough qualities to get selected and if you get rejected you lost nothing.

Have you been wondering how to put together an impressively-phrased Powerpoint presentation?

Have you been wondering how to compose an e-mail that captures your strategies and goals effectively?

It is time you did something about it.

As a young professional in today's global business world, it is imperative that you are competent in both oral as well as written communication.

Important forms of oral communication at the workplace include:

Building interpersonal relationships.
Giving presentations and debating viewpoints effectively.

You need to master oral skills for both in-person and over-the-phone interactions.

Similarly, important written communication includes:

Writing professional e-mails (sans SMS slang).
Putting together concise reports.
Creating visually powerful Powerpoint presentations.

And the key to acing oral and written communication is to spruce up your communication skills. And it is a lot easier than you think.

Here are some easy tips to do it on your own:

1. Improve pronunciation and diction

There are a few tricks to making a vernacular accent more globally understandable.

~ Try making sure that 'air' comes out of your mouth when saying the letters, 'T, P, K' and the sound 'Ch'.

~ Focus on elongating your vowel sounds. This will also automatically slow down your rate of speech.

~ Sing English songs out loud!

~ Watch news shows on channels like CNN and BBC.

~ The web site www.m-w.com is great for pronunciation help.

~ I would also suggest buying books on pronunciation and language that come with audio cassettes.

A good book that I found really useful was Better English Pronunciation by J D O'Connor. It is part of the Cambridge series, and some of those books come with cassettes.

2. Spruce up your writing skills

~ Believe it or not, you have to Read More!

~ Well-written magazines, like The Economist and India [ Images ] Today, are great to read not only to improve language skills but also to learn more about the world.

~ In terms of books, read what interests you. The basic goal is to read as much as you can.

There are a plethora of good authors who are popular today. Some good writers whose language is easy to follow include Vikram Seth, Jhumpa Lahiri [ Images ], Paulo Coelho, J D Salinger, Albert Camus and Roald Dahl.

~ People tend to forget basic grammar when writing e-mails. An e-mail is nothing more than a letter which is sent electronically.

Make sure salutations and content are professional. Use special phrases when attaching documents. For example, "Please find attached with this e-mail a report on..." This helps you sound professional.

3. Five exercises to practise every day!

i. Pretend you are a newscaster and read out the newspaper to your mirror.

ii. Do not read local newspapers. Focus on national newspapers.

iii. While reading a book, underline all the words you do not know. Look them up in the dictionary.

iv. Make a list of these words, and make sure you use at least five of them in a conversation during the day.

v. Most important, make an effort to speak in English to your friends and family.

Basic communication skills are required for nearly
every job or relationship you pursue. What if you
don't have time to take a writing course, or you
are just too shy to speak up in meetings? That is
OK. There are small steps that each of us can take
with a little time, and little or no money. Let's take a look at the basic requirement most employers
look for, and ways you can improve those skills. Verbal Communication The ability to speak clearly and concisely, and to
convey information or articulate an opinion is
essential for most jobs with internal or external
customer contact. A good communicator is
comfortable speaking to an individual or to
groups. If you wish to improve your verbal skills, you are
not alone. Is it your speech, your language
choice, or presentation style that you want to
work on? To help you pinpoint it, ask a trusted
colleague or manager to give you some feedback. Speaking or diction courses at community
colleges or adult schools will help you speak with
confidence. You may also consider an acting or
improvisation workshop, especially if fear of
speaking is an issue for you. Many people join
Toastmasters to take their speaking and presentation skills to a new level. Speaking skill is just as important when you're
talking one on one as it is when you addressing
one hundred. There are dozens of seminars on
the subject of effective communication,
relationship building, sales calling or serving
customers. In one day you can begin to change the way you communicate with individuals. Written Communication The ability to convey your message in writing
using proper grammar is a basic requisite for
nearly every job. Once you have control of
grammar, you can work to enhance your style. Most community colleges offer evening courses
on the subject of grammar or writing. Many offer
both creative writing as well as business writing. Go to your local teachers supply store for
grammar or writing self-study workbooks. They
may be geared toward high school students;
however, they are inexpensive, self-paced, and
portable. I have used these workbooks in
training courses, and they are highly effective for building basic skills. Find someone who is an excellent writer, and ask
them to be your writing coach. Meet to review
one of your writing samples and re-write it
together. With a good coach, you will make quick
progress. Go online and search for online writing courses.
Check your favorite search engine using
keywords such as 'distance learning', 'writing',
'online courses'. Listening The ability to listen carefully and understand the
speaker's message is key to building
relationships and succeeding at work. Focusing your full attention on the speaker is a
good start. However, if you want to develop
your listening skills, we suggest you check out
audiotapes or videotapes from your local library.
There are quite a variety of tapes in this category.
You may also check out 'books on tapes' establishments. Sharing Your Opinion or Analysis At some point you'll be asked to share your
opinion and explain how you came to that
opinion. You may even need to defend your
opinion in a cool, concise way. Listen to others, and pay attention to how they
express themselves. Be aware of your company
culture, and stay within that framework. A fun way to improve this skill is to listen to talk
radio shows that feature controversial issues. If
you scan your AM dial during drive time, you're
sure to come across one. You'll hear many
articulate people sharing and defending their
view. You may even feel compelled to call in and try your skills with the host. Find a mentor. Role play with your mentor and
ask for candid feedback. Most times when you are asked your opinion at
work, it is regarding a subject you are close to.
Relax and share your experience. Be confident in
yourself because you are the expert on what you
do. All forms of communication are a reflection of
your professionalism, your intellect, your
preparedness, and your character. You'll never be
sorry you took the time to develop your
communication skills.

Know what communication really is. Communication is the process of transferring signals/messages between a sender and a receiver through various methods (written words, nonverbal cues, spoken words). It is also the mechanism we use to establish and modify relationships.
Have courage to say what you think. Be confident in knowing that you can make worthwhile contributions to conversation. Take time each day to be aware of your opinions and feelings so you can adequately convey them to others. Individuals who are hesitant to speak because they do not feel their input would be worthwhile need not fear. What is important or worthwhile to one person may not be to another and may be more so to someone else.
Practice. Developing advanced communication skills begins with simple interactions. Communication skills can be practiced every day in settings that range from the social to the professional. New skills take time to refine, but each time you use your communication skills, you open yourself to opportunities and future partnerships.
Make eye contact. Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more successful. Eye contact conveys interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in return
Use gestures. These include gestures with your hands and face. Make your whole body talk. Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups. The gestures should get larger as the group that one is addressing increases in size

• Make sure you're using proper grammar.
• Try to speak fluently and try to make sure people can hear you when you speak.
• Do not interrupt or talk over the other person--it breaks the flow of conversation. Timing is important.
• Have confidence when talking, it doesn't matter what other people think.
• Get feedback from your receiver to ensure you were properly understood during your conversation.

all the best
