“Writing is so important. [In our PR agency,] We work with writers and journalists every day. It’s a way to communicate and articulate what you’re thinking. Even as communication turns digital, it’s important to be a better writer.”

I think writing and email communication go hand in hand. If you’re unable to respond right away, at least let someone know that. Keep people informed. Keep writing up to par. Proofread your email before you send them. Work on your communication skills. It can have a huge impact on how you come across to people and how successful you’ll be.

Grammar is God. Whether you’re on social media, writing an email blast, or creating a written presentation, your grammar will get critiqued. Those small things make a big difference. They can show a lack of basic skills. Know what a complete sentence is, how to structure a paragraph, whether it’s in social media or inter-office memos. Creative writing is absolutely a skill. Use it.

“For us it’s about story telling. We are storytellers; we have to draw in an audience. In a society of 180-character communication, we need to be concise. We don’t want to waste words, but still write how you would speak. Be conversational. Be that person witting as if they’re just sitting and talking with someone telling them a story.”

I think writing is hugely important for the job you’re in and for getting the job you want. I’ve had cover letters that got me an interview. Writing and communication skills go together. Especially when you’re working remotely or with online communication, it’s important to be clear and concise.
