Continue to Investigate What Communication Skills and Technologies Are Used in This Job
To prepare for this assignment:
Review what you have completed this week for the Communication Project.
Review Chapter 6, "Citing Books and Other Separately Published Materials" (pp. 82[6a]–90[6n] and 94[6u]) in the Pocket Guide to APA Style.
Note that by the end of this week, you should have completed Step 3.
Step 3: Continue to investigate what communication skills and technologies are used in this job.
If you are not already familiar with the job, you may need to do some research to get more information.
Consider joining a social networking site such as PeerNet (on Walden’s eCampus) or LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com to meet people in the job in which you are interested.
Questions to explore:
How are social networking sites viewed in the job you are investigating? Are employees encouraged or discouraged from joining such sites? How does the company feel about employees having personal information online?
How are blogs, podcasts, and vodcasts used in the job? Are employees allowed to have their own blogs? Does the chief executive officer (CEO) have a blog to communicate company information to employees? Can employees access podcasts for training and for information about the company?
The assignment for this week:
Compose a paragraph or two identifying communication skills and technologies relevant to the job you have selected. Be sure to compare and contrast technologies with social networking tools.
Support you assertions by making at least 2 references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.
