I’ll bite. Success you’re attributing to writing is probably due to strong thinking *demonstrated* by writing. Writing ability is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for having thoughts worth writing down.
I would hire an English major over a business major any day of the week. You can teach someone everything they need to know about business basics in 3 months, but you can’t teach someone to write well ‘on the job.’ 90% of success in my career has come from writing.https://twitter.com/lenicarey/status/1002348738814332928 …

I agree - it isn’t necessary to be successful in business. I do think it’s hard to be really successful in business without being great at one method of communication. And with the rise of email, great writing is an unfair advantage.

Is it really safe to assume an English major can write?

No. But I think it’s more likely that an English major can write than a business major can business :) and easier to screen for.

One of my professors told me that execs say this all the time, but it never makes it to the HR department.
