| Business Writing with a Creative Writing Flair
|
|
| Effective
Résumé - (rez-uu-may) from the French is a brief account of
one's
qualifications and experience, prepared for use in applying for a job.
It defines our work experience paid and unpaid, education, training,
contributions to society, and marketable skills like no other. In
collaboration with an experienced writer, a résumé is a marketing tool
that separates the qualified individual from the hack. |

Cover Letters are not a rehash of your résumé. A cover letter
should consist of no more than three neatly-framed paragraphs: a
beginning, a middle, and an end. Because cover letters aren't too far
removed from creative writing; meaning writing that stirs the reader's
emotion, begin with a strong opening - the hook. Be concise; don't
waste a word. If conciseness is the structure of a cover letter, than
flattery is the opening paragraph's essence. Don't flatter yourself
because that's tedious to the reader. So who do you flatter, you ask?
By working with Ms. Sabas learning her research methods, you will
discover who and how to flatter genuinely. |
|
| "Toot
your own horn, but do it softly" is the maxim for your middle paragraph. |
|
| Wrap up
your cover letter into a tidy package by tying your last paragraph to
the first one. Include telling the reader what you intend to do next. |
|
|
|
| Clear
and Concise Operations Manuals are composed as
easy-to-understand handbooks that even an outsider to an industry can reasonably
understand. |
|
|
| Sales
Letters are crafted toward knowing or finding customers'
need/wants/desires. "Learn the sell the sizzle, but not the steak"
technique. A similar rule applies to company brochure composition:
don't make a brochure read like a contract. |
|
|
| Letters
of Complaint composed
by Jo Anne Sabas are usually the
first or last course of action toward resolving a problem, settling a
quarrel, or persuading another party to act on your behalf. A sound
letter may spare you the time and expense of hiring an attorney. |
|
|
| Letters
of Recommendation are intended to "sell" the reader on the merits
of a candidate. Learn why a little of your relevant background
qualifies as authentic praise for another life and work. |
|
|
| Memoir Writing is a legacy you leave your
children and grandchildren--what better way to weave the rich tapestry
of your life and times. This is a tapestry where wisdom, learned
lessons, sorrow, and laughter are woven together. A memoir should also
chronicle your best and worst times from both personal and historical
perspectives. |
|
|
| Curriculum
Vita outlines
one's career listing relevant achievements, education, and held
positions
(paid or unpaid). Included are a list of publications, conducted
seminars, professional talks, and attended conferences. It is the
résumé for professional people. Ms. Sabas' years of experience in
academia serve her clients well. |
|
|
| Thank-you
Notes albeit
old-fashioned remain the standard of gentility in business. A "genuine"
thank you note following a job interview, for a well-done service, or a
mere compliment demonstrates that you, the writer has certain
undeniable qualities. In working with Ms. Sabas, you will learn how
these qualities apply to you. Thank-you notes may be part of a client's
résumé package. |
