The communication skill hiding in this story this week

Do a two-minute spoken summary of this briefing, record it, and listen back for clarity and pace.

Reading the news is not preparation. Turning it into a sentence you can say out loud in a room full of recruiters is. That is the gap most candidates never close, and it is the cheapest one to close.
