Week 1 Assignment Latest 2018 May
Professional Bio.
Most social media websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and
others ask you to post your professional bio.
As you are writing your bio, keep in mind that you want to share
enough information to create a professional image online, but not as much
information as you would on a resume. Too much information that is made public
may endanger your privacy.
Your bio should be about 100 to 150 words (about four short
paragraphs), should be well organized, and easy to read using separate
paragraphs and/or headings for the different types of information provided.
Here are some writing tips:
- Use
your name as the title. - Begin
with a strong statement (perhaps your mission). - Consider
your audience. Who do think will be reading this information? Consider
what is important to the reader and emphasize those points. - Keep
it interesting. Don’t be afraid to show a little bit of your personality. - Be
factual. Cite relevant experiences. - Keep
it short and to the point. Just cover the highlights. - Don’t
forget relevant volunteer activities, community affiliations, and
professional organizations, if applicable. - End
with a special interest or anecdote that makes you unique (memorable). - Questions
to consider: - Who
are you? - How
did you get to be who you are? - What
are you doing now? - What
would you like to do in the future? - Use
proper grammar and spelling. - You
may add a photo (optional).
MGMT550 Week 2 Assignment Latest 2018 May
Create an Email Message. For this assignment,
you need to create a response to each of the email messages provided. View the
five emails from the Week 2 Email Assignment Tab. Your assignment
is to create the responses to each of these emails.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply writing
principles while responding to business email. The emails you’ll receive
simulate internal and external messages. Assume that you are employed at the
Blue Bay Resort and Conference Center. As you might expect, the culture is fast
paced and fairly informal, with employees relying heavily on email. While speed
is important, high value is also placed on precision: all of your email
responses should be grammatically correct and error-free.
You will play the role of the Catering Director for the Blue Bay
Resort and Conference Center. You took this job a year ago and are busier than
you ever imagined—running from meeting to meeting every day. Your only time to
respond to your email is during your short breaks between customer meetings. As
usual, you have a flood of messages which all seem critical. Your challenge
during this assignment is to respond to all of your email and write clear
responses.
When responding to each of the messages, consider each of the
following:
- What
do you think is an appropriate response to your message? - What
information do you think should be included? - What
might be inappropriate for this type of message? - How
long should an appropriate response be? - What
would you consider too long?
