Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Communication Skills
Richard Worth · 2004
64/100
👎 Skip It
This is a solid, no-frills career-skills primer aimed at teens heading into their first jobs — clear advice on speaking up, listening well, and writing professionally. It's held a spot in library shelves for decades, which says something, but it's dated (no email, no video calls) and narrow in scope, so it's a fine reference rather than a must-read.
