The most important qualities an employer expects from a college graduate include proficiency, communication, and work ethic. Proficiency: The state of being proficient; skill; expertness. The first skill employers look for in a college graduate is technical knowledge in the field I want to peruse. Meaning I have to know the book work and the research behind it. The technical knowledge I have is that I went to cosmetology school for two years and did book work every other day. My future salon I wanted in high school was Toni and Guy. I would also have tests once a week to make sure I knew the material. The next skill employers look for in college graduates is technical application which is the hands on work I know how to do in my field. The technical application I have in my field is that I had to cut hair on a mannequins the days I was not doing book work. On Thursdays I would have women and men from retirement homes come in, do their hair, manicure, pedicure, or a facial. I would get graded for every mannequin and client I worked on that week.

Internal communication has a keen focus on the announcement of the management conclusions and packaging of all management thinking into messages for distribution on a wider scale to the “troops”, Quirke (2008).

Internal communications have also been called internal relations (Cutlip, Center & Broom, 2006) as well as internal public relations (Kennan & Hazleton, 2006; Kreps, 1989). Internal communication within an organization may occur through speech and other internal communication tools such as Instant Messaging, Forums, Blogs, Twitter, Social Networking, mail, telephone, fax, radio, paging, closed circuit television, computer networks and internet connections as well as via electronic mail. My analysis of the later will center on Oman Oil Company S.A.O.C. (OOC), a high profile company in the energy sector located in Sultan of Oman and which is wholly owned and managed by the Government.
