I know that generally people do not hire as I do so that what I am about to write is, sadly, not going to favor those who write well as they job search.
But the ability to write well is directly tied to being able to organize one's thoughts and to being able to think in a logical manner. If you can write well, you can probably understand a problem, analyze it for key points, think of appropriate solutions, choose a good solution and execute the solution. All of these are key business skills. For most careers, you can pick up the subject matter along the way--but the first requisite is sound thinking..
But the basic ability to reason is a relatively rare quality. But one that an education in writing well seems to refine.
As a one who switched to a career in accounting very late in life, I can assure you that the ability to write well is the number 2 (if not number 1) skill that an accountant needs. One makes one's mark in the tough situations...and tough business situations require solid reasoning and communication skills.
Not that employers hire on that basis. But hiring criteria and the criteria for success are usually not the same.
Required of anyone who works for me: smarts, drive, integrity. If only have any 2 of the 3, you are dangerous.
