Week 10 : Communication Skills

I think that I have fairly good communication skills. Verbally I can start a conversation with almost anyone, and I'm not the smartest guy ever, but I think i'm easily capable of having a samrt conversation with someone. I'm not that great of a writer when it comes to gramer or puntuality, so that would be my biggest weak spot in that area.

One thing that I do well in situations when i'm not really familiar with the type of person someone is, I can listen bery well. I'm not saying that I neccisarily like to learn about everything, but I do get interested in things fairly easily. For example, if someone comes in Buffalo's and I try to have a conversation with them, sometimes I'll just listen to what they have to say. I won't try and rush off, i'll just wait until they finish so I will know just about everything they wanted to say. Some people come in though, and they want to be left alone. I think one of the things that working at Buffalo's has tought me is how to tell those people apart. I can tell now if someone wants to talk, or if someone just wants to sit and eat there food in peace.
