Dear Zach,
I am writing to you in regards to
your questions you asked me about technical and professional communication. I
am pleased to see that you have taken an interest in this field of study. This
degree is so versatile to have in the work force because everyone needs to have
proper and professional communication skills. I know that you will learn a lot
from the classes.
Technical and professional communication
is the use of documents to transfer information to different clientele and or
consumers. As a professional it is such an important aspect to be able to
communicate in a way such that whoever it might be can receive and interpret
the message correctly. Communication is used everywhere and is very important
now more than ever due to the amount technology has progressed. The internet
has become such a big presence in our daily lives. It is easy to access. People
present themselves now through blogs, all forms of social media, business
websites, and many other features, but it is not enough to have only an online
form of you.
It is important to remember to
conduct yourself in a manner that is professional. With much of the content on
the internet available to the public there is always risks involving security.
So it is always a good idea to cognizant of the information that you share
amongst others. Often businesses will go online to search for information on
you. Can you imagine the possible thoughts a potential employer would have if
they saw work that was sloppy or even damaging to others? There is a place and
time to be casual but the internet is beginning to not be one of those places.
The field of technical and
professional communication is all about creating a professional persona. It
includes conducting proper interviews, writing portfolios, and most importantly
conducting yourself a the best professional as possible. This degree is very
versatile because there so many areas of focus that you can get into. A few to
list out are working with human resources, marketing director, and being a
communication consultant. Many companies rely on Professional communicators to
assist in various tasks such as making communication more effective within
their organization.
I know that you and I have not
communicated much over the years but, I hope that with what I have told you it
will help you with your decision in choosing the right field of study for you.
I am always here to help you whenever you need it little cousin, and enjoy your
first year of college.
Sincerely,
Ahseante’ Hicks
I enjoyed reading your letter. You explain your understanding of the topic very well and in a way easily understood by someone unfamiliar with it. The letter seems as if it is a legitimate letter to your cousin. The way you present the information is from a counseling perspective to a younger cousin which makes it more believable. I liked the question you asked about imagining a potential employer searching for information on the internet. It gives the letter a personal touch.
ReplyDeleteThe only critique I could come up with is in the second paragraph, the word “such” is used a bit much. It is similar to the word “that” we discussed in class, and it can be eliminated if it does not add meaning. Overall, excellent work!
