Throughout the ‘Technical Writing’ course, the opportunity to write a variety of documents common in the academic world arose. In working at the Group Bookings Assistant at the Vancouver Art Gallery, being able to communicate well with others is essential. Below are examples of work illustrating that I can write with the tone, style, and organization necessary in this position.
Term definitions are an essential element to many professional fields. In the Group Bookings Assistant position, any reports on visitor trends will need to define the types of visitors in the introduction. In my definition of the film term ‘montage’, I successfully created definitions with a varying level of detail. This is important in order to create the right type of definition for the reader.
The purpose of learning to write a complaint letter is to understand how to communicate professionally under any manner of circumstances. Since the Group Bookings Assistant position involves large groups of people every day, interacting with people in a courteous manner is critical. This complaint letter achieves this respectful tone by putting the reader first. I use phrases like “To maintain your excellent standing with me, I request…” to keep the reader satisfied and my tone professional.
Formal Reports form part of many positions, including working as a Group Bookings Assistant. Proposals are important because it allows you to provide the scope of the report and to see if it should be narrowed. Proposals are also helpful in determining if there are any confidentiality issues with your report. My proposal is successful it its conciseness and clear organization with headings.
Peer Review of Gurjyot’s Formal Report Proposal
Peer Reviews are a critical second step to writing proposals and an array of other documents, such as LinkedIn profiles and term definitions. They allow the writer to gain valuable insights into their writing, which they otherwise may have missed. My peer review’s strengths lie in its balance of both positive and negative feedback, as well as clear justifications for the points made.
