Interview with Sharon Williams, Contract Administrator

I interviewed Sharon Williams, a Contract Administrator at Champion Aerospace in Liberty Sc. She had the following to say about Communication in her workplace:
Communication is an important aspect on any job. If you do not have the
ability to communicate with others, then you are at a disadvantage in the
workplace. If a company wants you to explain why they should use your
company for business, you must be able to reply to with a meaningful and
effective response. If you are in a meeting and your boss asks how the
company is benefiting from your position, you must able to respond with a
strong oral response. Being able to communicate in different forms is also
important. You may have to respond orally, or written. When writing
interoffice memos it is very important to make sure that you reduce
wordiness. If the memo is long, most employees will only scam the
document, missing vital information. When responding to a client by
e-mail, Sharon states that it is important to make sure that you respond
by only answering their questions and including a brief explanation if
necessary. Oral communication is also important because you may have to
explain something to an employee, client, or supervisor in person. You
also have to be very careful about what you write, because if a situation
arises where two different departments are involved, your writing may have
to be collaborated. Any person who has problems communicating would not
be able to be an effective Contract Administrator. Having a Business Writing class would help a person prepare for this job, because it teaches a person how to communicate in many diverse forms.
