Ms. Clark,

I am writing in response to the ad posted in NACElink.com for an Information Systems Technician (Job#1357). Please accept my attached resume as an application for this position.

My experience and personality closely fit the posted job description and I am excited to apply.
As a Management Information Systems student at Olympic College, I have taken advantage of numerous design opportunities on campus and in class, which may be useful when working at XYZ Company. During my web design class, I volunteered to organize a group that would design and create a web site using Flash technology for a local company. The project was well received, and the organization is using some of our ideas. As a student worker in the Electronics Department, I also designed an Access data base to track student advising appointments and progress. The position required a high degree of confidentiality as well as a person with the ability to work on the project until it was completed.

In addition to maintaining a 3.0 GPA, and holding an on-campus job, have also participated in various campus activities and leadership programs. By working on committees, I was able to demonstrate my leadership. Teamwork, and time-management skills, which can be useful in a professional setting like XYZ Company.

I am eager to learn more about your position, and would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in an interview about my qualification. I can be reached at (360) 377-1234 and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

How to write email:

Important Points to Remember

Email is much less formal than a written letter. Emails are usually short and concise.
If you are writing to someone you don't know, a simple "Hello" is adequate. Using a salutation such as "Dear Mr Smith," is too formal.
When writing to someone you know well, feel free to write as if you are speaking to the person.
Use abbreviated verb forms (He's, We're, He'd, etc.)
Include a telephone number to the signature of the email. This will give the recipient the chance to telephone if necessary.
It is not necessary to include your email address as the recipient can just reply to the email.
When replying eliminate all the information that is not necessary. Only leave the sections of text that are related to your reply. This will save your reader time when reading your email.

In these 7 steps it is explained how to successfully write a business letter:

Step 1

Begin in the upper left corner with the date you are writing the letter. The date can be used for a point of later reference.

Step 2

State the name of the recipient, along with his or her job title, the name of the company and the address.

Step 3

Include a salutation in the upper left corner. It is commonly “Dear,” followed by the name of the recipient. It is a good idea to address the person formally as Mr. or Ms. If the name of the recipient is unknown, follow with Sir or Madam.

Step 4

Continue with the body of the letter. Do not indent, but put a space between paragraphs. In a business letter, make sure the point is stated clearly. The purpose of the letter should be stated in the first sentence of the body.

Step 5

Choose a proper closing. The most common one is “Sincerely” followed by a comma. Type your name below the body to the left. Below that, type your job title. Once the letter is printed, put the signature below the printed name.

Step 6

Edit the letter. Check for spelling and grammatical errors very carefully. Nothing makes a letter look less professional than misspellings. Have another party ready the letter before sending it. The most popular word processing programs can also help you check. They do not catch all errors, however, so read the letter thoroughly.

Step 7

Use company letterhead if possible. Make sure the letter is double spaced. Choose a block font that is easy to read, not a pretty or flowery font.

Dear Mr Steve

Here is an example of how to write a business letter.

You should use plain paper, without company's letterhead. Reasons for this kind of letter are: Asking about land for sale, seeking employment...

A personal business letter requires a return address block consisting of the street or post office box number; city, state, zip; and the date. These information is compulsory for a message.

The inclusion of the return address block is the only format difference between the personal business letter and the letter format of any other business letter. After you type the return address block, you would the inside address, salutation, body, complementary close, and typed signature line. If you implement these points you will have a great letter.

Please use this format when writing personal business letter.

Sincerely,

Pera

Chapter 17- Creativity and Visual Design


Visual designing, choosing the right visual channel, basic principles of visual design, infographics are the main points in this chapter. If you are familiar with these terms and skills, you will be better qualified to design some messages such as commercials, advertising or presentations.
Visual design is the process of structuring messages by using visual elements.The point is that visual design matches the message (increase undrestanding, clarify, simplify).
Choosing the right visual channel involves identifying which information can most effectively be presented graphically. Visuals can put accent on the message goal, or emphasize the information.
Basic principles of visual design include the grid approach, which can help you to determine the placement of visual elements on a page or withing a graphic design frame. Principles include:
1.Contrast-different colors, shapes or tones.
2.Blance-equal amount of visual elements in design
3.Rhytm-strategic placement of visual elements that will keep the viewer attention from element to element.
4.Unity-use of visual elements which are similar or pointed in same direction
Infographics are informational images, which include determing the size, visibility and placement of visual elements. Types: Quantitative- use numerical or statistical information in condensed visual formats such as tables,charts and graphs; Qualitative-present text or narrative information in visual formats, including flow charts, maps, photos, drawings and diagrams.
In the present time, when it seems that nothing else can be invented or made, when there are plenty of simmilar companies as yours, the only thing that can help you make higher profit is a good advertisment. Learning how to make more effective visual designed messages will surely help you with making higher profit and find a company in which you will be satisfied.

Chapter 10- The Business of Reports: Informal and Formal Report Writing



Reports,informal reports,purposes of reports, mission,research, formal reports, are the things this chapter is about.
Get some drink and seat in a comfortable chair because this part of the blog will be so enjoyable that you will think you are in the heaven.
You don't believe me? OK. Pick formal of informal report and start writing the report in which you will include present information (that i am giving you fake hope),analyze data and information (that i can not know what's going to happen in the future), and persude my teacher that i am doing totally wrong work. Then offer some solution like cutting off my blog points, and decision making, for example banning me from attending the next courses.
Specify your mission (that youd don't want to be dissapointed never again) and do the research of the person who is giving you the unreliable information. Now it's ready to be sent!
I hope that you will fail with your goal (redusing my mark) and that you will be able to enjoy more my blogs.
