What I learned

Kristin Sutter
The three interviews that I looked at were the journalist interview, the mayor interview and, the engineer interview. I thought that it was very interesting to see the differences between the different kinds of communication needed in theses three different kinds of professions. The journalist required both skills in oral and written communication. In order to be a journalist I learned that it is important to be able to communicate while interviewing and, important to be able to take good notes. In the mayor interview I learned that a lot of persuasive writing is important along with email writing. For the engineer interview I learned that technical writing especially proposals, project progress reports, and, memos in term reports are most important. After learning about what type of comm. is important in these different fields I then compared them to my interview with the real estate agent. I believe that the communication needed by the journalists is closest to that of a real estate agent. The reason I believe this is that I learned that both of these professions require heavy verbal communication skills.
