I was told that the thing that got me the job was how much they judged I would fit into the team, but most importantly how when my non-technical interviewer asked me to explain a technical concept, I did it in terms she understood. I keep on hearing that communication and how you work in a team are the key things that bosses look for. It still surprises me everytime. (as a side note, Andrew found a great article to read about communication in the work place)

Communication is definitely key. Blogging is a good way to improve your communication skills because it forces you to organize your thoughts into a form that others will understand. That sounds like a simple skill but for most people, including myself, it isn't.
