Review "…the text is wonderful…the text is simple to read with an exceptional application to real-world situations. The PowerPoint slides are fabulous!""I would describe the Hamilton text as solid, well written, and appropriately scholarly. I think Hamilton has combined a traditional format with a good organization, but has avoided being 'stuffy' and 'dry'.""I'm impressed with the total package that is COMMUNICATING FOR RESULTS: A GUIDE FOR BUSINESS AND THE PROFESSIONS. …Anyway, what's not to like? It's all in there in Hamilton.""I would recommend this text to others."

Information on the different types of interviews.2. Nonverbal communication in organizations.3. How to be an effective listener (hint: we were born with one mouth and two ears!).4. How to deliver informative presentations.5. The types of visual aids and how to use them.6. How to make persuasive presentations.7. Participating in small groups.8. How to prepare for a presentation by researching, supporting, and delivering your ideas.All in all, a good basic book for a 2 or 4-year school. The writing style is simple without being simplistic.Recommended.
