Listening is as Important as Talking in an Interview

MP900431736[1]One of the most popular requirements listed for an open job posting is “good communicator.”  Most people immediately think something  along the lines of “Yes, I am good at communicating my message clearly to individuals and large groups.”

But this is only half of being a good communicator.  Hiring managers want to know you are also a good listener.  And an interview is a great chance to demonstrate your skills in this area.

Check out my first article for a blog site dedicated to coaching you through your career path: Work Coach Cafe.  If you have additional tips on listening skills, please share your comments on either blog.
