Principles of effective communication

Effective communication is being able to give out a point that the person you are communicating with can understand while they can communicate with you and you can understand their point.

Questions are often used when communicating. Questions can either be open ended or closed. Open ended questions have long answers to them, an example of an open ended question would be “what did you do last weekend?” the reason this is an open ended question because it would have a long answer. A closed questions usually has one short answer, an example would be “how old are you?” there will be only one answer to this question, that’s what makes it a closed question.

Many people communicate in different ways but what ever way you communicate it is usually split up as verbal, non-verbal and written communication. Verbal is the most well known way to communicate as it is usually through speaking. Non-verbal on the other hand is to do with body language. Written communication is communicating through emailing, writing or texting.

Personnel presentation is how others see us by how we look or what we are wear. For example if you wear a shirt and tie to a job interview the interviewer will have a high opinion of you before you say a word while if you wear a tracksuit to an interview the interviewer will think you weren’t interested in getting the job or were too lazy to look smart for the interview.
