Read the section on Conversation as a ritual<\/i> in the first part of Chapter 16.5: Rituals of conversation and interviews<\/a> in Saylor Academy (Ed.) 2012. Business Communication for Success<\/i>. (See page(s) 627 – 636 in PDF version<\/a>.)\n<\/p>\n

This reading explains the five stages that are common to any conversation, describing conversation as a social ritual.\n<\/p>\n

The reading goes on to examine one particular workplace conversation ritual, the job interview. This section of reading is optional, because a detailed knowledge of interview practices is not required for this course; however, the information is useful for anyone who may be involved in a job interview and it also provides a good illustration of one type of interpersonal business communication. (You do not need to do any of the exercises in the chapter.)\n<\/p>\n
