Thinking and Acting Rhetorically

What does it mean to act and to think in a rhetorical manner?
To act and to think in a rhetoric manner, is to know how to use words in a clever way when persuading others in agreeing with what you say; it is done in a smooth and professional manner.
There are many steps and genres to accomplishing this process. It all begins with the way you gather up your ideas and to the way you send the message to your audience.  
To think rhetorically we have to have a clear thought of our position and goals before sending the message to the audience for it to be effective. We also have to know what the audience values and what their opinion is on the topic.  

Knowing about rhetoric is a skill that can be very beneficial in any career. It can also be helpful in a job interview since it tells your boss that you have a strong personality, can be committed to your words and be trustful. Rhetoric is not only about speaking, it is also about knowing how to speak and what words to use to send the message exactly how you want others to receive it.
