Communication is a key element in relating to employers, colleagues, family or friends and to achieving your goals, no matter how small or large. Many thousands of words have been written relating to the  the art of communication.

Below are some very important factors to consider.

* Truly effective communication is made up of three elements:

• 58% Tonality

• 35% Physiology

• 7% Written Word

Aim to utilise the above in the right ratio. Be flexible: adopt and adapt to the language and environmental phrases of the person (s) who you are attempting to influence.

REMEMBER

• Only those who are flexible can be in charge of the communication system

• Always be critically honest with yourself as "successful communication" is evaluated by the positive or negative response you get.

With these figures in mind Sell Yourself Recruitment created SYRGraduate at which candidates are able to communicate directly with employers using all three elements. By doing so we have improved the ability of employers to more easily select the right person for the job and at the same time, provided a more balanced playing field on which candidates are able to compete.
