Barriers (P3,M1)

we were takes to explore different types of barriers some of the barriers that were in the types and some of the solutions to them and some of my own barriers

There are many things that can effect communication these thing are called barriers for example:


Physical Barriers

There are things like physical barriers which for example are if the speaker or listener has a hearing problem this is a physical barrier to the communication this also means things like distance between the speaker and listener as well as background noise. to overcome one of these types of barriers are like if background noise is a problem just move to a different or have a room specifically for the purpose of interviewing people

language Barriers

This means stuff like wither the person speaking has something like a strong accent form another country or a strong areal accent which means that they speak English differently or English is there second language so they might use words differently or not fully understand what you are saying to them.to overcome one of the barriers like the person not being able to speak English very well since it may be their second language try to talk slower and use proper English when talking to them since that will be the words they most likely to have learnt

Perceptual Barriers

These are things like how you present your self for instance some one might be wearing something from there native country which they believe to be OK or something that there religion tells them to wear so to some people they might not look as professional as some one else.to over come one of these barriers is to come to the interview well dressed in something like a suit.

Cultural Barriers

This means things like the ethnic values that a certain values a religion have towards people or things as well as the age of a person so that the interviewer doesn't choose some one because there young this also applies to some gestures that people use which may be nice but could be seen differently like how some Japanese people won't shake hands but bow to each other or someone else. to overcome one of these barriers is to greet the person how they would if they want a handshake give it to them if they bow to you do the same it would also help to know what nationally the person you interview will be so you can be prepared

Mental/Emotional Barriers

Are things like if one of the speaker or listener has a mental disability or metal affliction like depression it could also mean if the person is tired or can get very stressed or stressed on the day there personality can also come in to this section as a barrier. to overcome one of these barriers you like tiredness you would want to make sure that you get to bed early the day before and get up at a time that give you enough time to fully wake up so you are not tired when you get to the interview.

My Barriers

Some barriers that I have is that I have is a physical problem of my illness which does stop me from being able to do things for the company I also have a problem with some terminology because I have some trouble trying to remember what they mean so if some one said some thing to me I would need a minute to understand it.

All of the barriers which I have mentioned would be a problem if you were going for a job in the game industry however some more than others like physical barriers will be more of a problem than maybe perceptual barriers
