General communication skills
- Engaging audience - In order to effectively communicate, you need to engage your audience. For example, if you are pitching an idea, you need to engage your audience, make the presentation look interesting. You could ask your audience a question that is related to the topic etc.
- Terminology - For example, if you're doing a presentation on the IT sector, you need to watch the terminology which you are using as the people to whom you presenting, may not necessarily know what you are talking about.
Interpersonal Skills
- Body language - Body language is very important because it gives away how you really feel. You could come off as confident, but when you fidgeting or can't stand in place, it could give the wrong impression.
- Speed of response - If you take your time to answer, the person you are talking to could potentially think that you do not necessarily know your subject.
Communicate in Writing
- Emoticons - For example, if you are writing to a manager, or someone important, it is not professional to use emoticons as the person who you writing to may not take you seriously.
- Grammar - Grammar is a very important point to consider as it shows what kind of person you are. For example, if you are writing a CV and you have grammatical mistakes, the person reviewing your CV probably would turn you down.

Body language
- Nonverbal communication
