| 505 | _a"Even though you learn the advanced technology of your chosen field, you may not get the job you want if your communication ability is inadequate. Someone who does get the job may lose it when it is discovered the employee can't spell or write a clear, correct sentence. Others may keep their jobs but stay at a dead end, unable to advance to meaningful careers because of poor or mediocre oral or written communication.[...] | ||
| 505 | _aEach of the 145 chapters has starting pages that include a painting or people at work in a particular career; objectives, and an introduction to that chapter's topics. The starting pages enable you to find out exactly what skills and knowledge you should expect to acquire by the time you complete the chapter. | ||
| 505 | _aNext come unique learning steps called Read, Recap, and Replay. When you Read, you get information in small portions. Then you apply what you just read by answering a few questions in a Recap. After another short "portion" or two often followed by short Recaps, you verify that you've learned by answering the Replay questions. As soon as you complete a Recap or a Replay, check your answers in Appendix F beggining on page 373." | ||
