    There are a number of factors that play into career success, and exceptional communication skills are one of the most important of those factors. Being a clear communicator is essential in then work place, especially in a team oriented setting. This allows for easier collaboration between coworkers, which is crucial to successfully completing tasks by their deadlines in the work place.

    Being able to effectively communicate in various ways in the workplace is very important to employee success. Some of these ways may include different things like writing memos, proposals, and instructions. Being effective at writing those types of documents can help  minimize miscommunications, which in turn improves the team oriented setting of a workplace. Another benefit of being a clear communicator is that it allows one to efficiently express their thoughts, ideas, and plans to their coworkers or superiors. This helps guarantee that coworkers will be on the same page.

    A large portion of being an effective communicator also includes being able to gather, assess, integrate information learned and be able to communicate that information to fellow coworkers. Being able to assess and gather the needed information in a report or document and relay that message to other employees is key when making sure the company is on the same page. This allows for the company to know its goal and work towards it together rather then employees having to gather information themselves.

    Being able to effectively manage different writing projects is also a very important skill to have in the workplace. Managing different tasks of different priorities at the same is a crucial skill to have to be successful in the workplace. This skill set allows one to be successful at meeting deadlines, stay organized, as well as be a good leader in the workplace. Being able to manage personal time as well as manage others time is a very important skill to have in a leadership or managerial role.

    Overall there a lot of factors that go into to being successful in the workplace. Being a good communicator, effective time manager, and strong leader is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to thriving in a work environment. However, these are in my personal opinion, the most important aspects of being successful at work. These skills combined with a hard work ethic and positive attitude would allow just about anyone to improve themselves in the workplace by making their life easier and more organized.

  Self Introduction Blog By Thane Kruk     Hi, my name is Thane Kruk and I am a student at NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. I am currently studying construction management and am on pace to graduate in the fall of 2025. So far I am enjoying the construction program at NDSU and felt that I have learned quite a bit about the industry. I am very excited to graduate and begin a full time career in the industry.      However, I was not always a construction management major. When I was a freshman I started college as a business administration major. I chose this path originally because I have always enjoyed learning about business but I also was not sure what I wanted to study in college. After completing my freshman year in the business school I decided to explore the construction management program as I had spent the previous few years working on the labor side of the construction industry.      Aside from having to take a few more generals, the tra...

NDSU ENGL 320 Blog 4 By Thane Kruk     For this blog post we were challenged to "live in the moment" by taking some time to sit quietly for as long as we could with zero distractions. The purpose of this challenge was to try and slow down daily life for a little bit and appreciate it as is. I think this is a good exercise for anyone to try, especially if you ever reach a point in your day where you feel overwhelmed or stressed out.     I completely agree that people tend to not live in the moment and instead try to live in the future. I too am guilty of this as I am always trying to check the next task off my bucket list or come up with a new idea for work. Although you may think that always thinking and working towards something is the only way to achieve it, you may be wrong. Sometimes all you need is to sit down take a deep breathe and try to focus on absolutely nothing. If you clear your mind of all stressors and other thoughts, it can actually allow you to think...

 Online College Courses     In my college career I have taken a pretty sizable number of online classes, in fact I would go as far as saying about 80-90% of my business classes for my Business Administration Minor have been taken online. Unfortunately NDSU doesn't offer their construction management program online or I would be taking some of those online as well. I took my first online class freshman year as a test run to see if it was a good fit for me and I loved it. One specific class I took online was the principles of real estate. Or in this case it was technically called BUSN 347 at NDSU.      As someone who deals with real estate daily as their profession, this class was super enjoyable and insightful. Although I had already known a good amount of the basics I still learned a great deal from the class. I really did like the format of the class and that there was a weekly checklist of tasks and assignments to do. This made the course easily manageabl...
