This isn't your dad's job market. I am struck by the parade of job ads demanding solid presentation skills. From librarians and sales people to commercial real estate brokers and information technology workers, employers view effective communication skills as paramount.
The lesson is simple: If you are in search of a new job or are a first-time job seeker, time spent sharpening your communications edge puts dollars in your pocket.
Even an ad for a Senior Payload Systems Engineer in the space program requires "excellent presentation skills." Hey, maybe this is rocket science, after all.
