Mass Media Complete Database Workplace Personal I

You will conduct an assessment of your skills in the workplace and think ahead about those interpersonal skills that you will need in your desired profession. What do you do well? What are your deficits? What are the skills that you need to acquire? Limit your paper to two principal skills, read three journal articles about those skills, and then write up a plan for developing skills based upon what you read in the textbook and your view of the research. I will provide additional information about this assignment. This assignment should be typed, single-spaced, 10 or 12-point font, and 5-7 pages in length.

To further clarify, I’m looking for a paper around 5 pages in length but no longer than 7. This is an assignment in which I would like you to consult three outside sources and I would like them (preferably) to be peer reviewed journal articles. You can find them by looking in the Academic Search database (and click on “peer reviewed,” or the Communication and Mass Media database (again click on “peer reviewed”). You can get to this database by looking right on the library page at A-Z databases, click on that and then click on “C.” The Comm. and Mass Media Complete Database specializes on communication articles.

Begin as I say above and do a personal assessment of your skills and figure out which ones are needed for your intended profession. Limit your selection to two skills that you need and write up a plan for skill development based on what you’ve learned from your text and the research that you read. This is, in essence, a blueprint that you can use to improve your workplace communication. Because you’re already in the workforce, you may already know of deficits. But also look to the future. If you are in a job of your desired profession, what else might you need? Cite the research (and text) where relevant and provide a bibliography so that I know what sources you consulted.
