Communication skills are essential for success in any career, but they are especially important for high-paying jobs. Communication skills include the ability to write and speak effectively, as well as the ability to listen and collaborate with others.

Relationships with supervisors can be powerful motivators.

Enough personal information as to make yourself seem more relatable provided at an appropriate time might just be the key to a future successful career.
