Just reading through a job spec I've been sent by a recruiter and got to this line;
Quote: • Possess excellent communication skills, with an emphasis on verbal and written skills
An emphasis on verbal and written communication skills.
As opposed to what?
Mime?
Interpretive dance?
Semaphore?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Body language, obviously.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|

I'm getting good at reading female body language.. for example if her arms are around your neck, I'm pretty sure that's meant to express anger.
|
|
|
|
|
Uh, I think if her arms are around your neck that's good. Alternatively, if her *hands* are around your neck, that's bad.
|
|
|
|
|
Meant hands, wrote arms.. don't know why 
|
|
|
|
|
You know why. Because you are good at female body language but not good on written English body language.

Seen on a resume:
Languages: C#, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Body.

I'd be in real trouble at my current place if people there knew what I was thinking.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

|
|
They'd just think you *REALLY* liked Morecambe and Wise and love singing their theme song...

I imagine that while a one digit or two digit communication(I am not talking about binary here) method may be the standard manner in which experts would like to communicate to 'management', they are perhaps looking for something beyond this.
