What do getting a job, earning a promotion, making the right friends, and boosting your confidence all have in common? Doing each one of those things is a whole lot easier when you can speak and write without making grammatical mistakes. Just ask any hiring manager, senior-level executive, or neighbor next door.

In this guide, author Patricia Blaine, a longtime professional writer, gives you the tools you need to write and speak effectively. You can learn how to - avoid common mistakes in verbal and written communications; - speak clearly--even practice with tongue twisters; - master the usage of pronouns, prepositions, and basic punctuation; - finally master correlative conjunctions; - organize an effective résumé and cover letter; and - boost your overall vocabulary.

By using everyday examples of proper and improper usage, Blaine makes it clear which words and clichés to avoid.
