Your plan

Communication at Kesterly College Front Desk

Saying what you mean in a way the other person can actually use.

Not the same as: Being talkative. A short, clear message from a quiet person is strong communication.

Workdays to walk through

  1. Workday 01 · The Form He Can't Read

    Monday · 9:14 AM

    A man in his fifties needs to fill out an enrollment form. He is not going to tell you why he keeps putting it down.

  2. Workday 02 · Enrollment Week

    Thursday · 8:05 AM

    The queue reaches the bulletin board before the doors have been open ten minutes. The printer's jammed and the system logs you out every twenty minutes on the dot.

  3. Workday 03 · Something Else Entirely

    Tuesday · 2:10 PM

    A student who's been a familiar face all two weeks tells you something you're not trained or qualified to handle. You have to decide what happens with it next.

Practice steps

These get harder as you go. Tick the ones you have actually done at work — nobody is grading this.
