Hello all,
Today is International Literacy Day. Literacy is defined as "the ability to read and write or the ability to use language proficiently." In what ways do we use literacy each day? In what way does our ability to use language proficiently assist us or set us back?
Think about your search for a new job or career. How does the ability to read and write proficiently affect your job search? Do you find that you could or should improve your reading or writing skills in order to get the job you really want?
One of the blogs I follow suggests that it's a new world out there. Job searches that don't take into consideration the ability to use the computer and the internet in the job search may have a more difficult time finding a job. Today, more and more companies are looking for employees through online sites; recruiters are using social networking sites to screen potential clients. I think we really do have to reassess what we consider "good enough" reading and writing skills as it relates to today's market for employees. We may want to learn new reading and writing skills to become more marketable in today's society.
What do you think?
