we have never been taught about how to be a good listener neither in school nor in universities and i believe that this is the integral part for our career growth. Though, Internship is all about learning technical stuff along with other skill development like being a good listener. Of course no one is perfect in any aspect. However i do suggest these points to be a good listener:- ? Never plan or cook any reply back of the mind while listening. ? Don't judge anyone by their appearance, it really really effects. ? Take a moment to reply and to frame question. Don't be reactive. ? Be mentally present there.
