Does
Good English Matter?
A senior recruiter
at Citigroup says:

“When hiring someone;

I find that strong writing
skills are a tie breaker.”
“If I have two similar candidates in front of me,

every time

I’ll hire the one who can write better.” Page 1
Gary Blake,
Communication Workshop leader says:
“When I go around the country talking

with big corporate clients, I am surprised
at the number of managers who complain
Darryl Cross.flv

that nobody who works for them can
write a simple paragraph.
You can have the greatest ideas in the world,
But they are no good to anyone.

If you can’t express them clearly & persuasively1

Head of HR department of an MNC says:
These days, to find a job in any multinational or any
good company effective communication is essential.
“To attain a corporate job with a multinational
company you need to communicate effectively, write
reports & put together presentations.
Tragically, majority of candidates lack fluency
& polish. They are poor in grammar, including even
those who have studied in English medium Schools.
They are unable to construct grammatically
correct sentences. They also grapple with pace, tone
Page 1
& pronunciation.”
Head of a Call Center says,
“Today’s youth either have a pathetic
command over the English Language
or very weak delivery system & hence
their communication is wasted.

In fact, we reject 90% of those who
apply for voice-based positions due to

poor communication skills.
Page 1
Head of a manufacturing factory says:
In
addition
to
poor
grammar
today’s youth have grave problems
with
listening, comprehending, assimilatin
g & responding.
We face problems. Our employees
need to express themselves well.
We don’t provide language training.
We expect them to have strong
communication skills to start with.
