These days, to find a job in any multinational or any
good company effective communication is essential.
“To attain a corporate job with a multinational
company you need to communicate effectively, write
reports & put together presentations.

those who have studied in English medium Schools.
They are unable to construct grammatically
correct sentences. They also grapple with pace, tone
