Week 7: Discussion – Professional Communication

VIDEO DISCUSSION (please include a link to the example you find below your video)

This week, we are discussing professional writing and communication. Do some research and find a bad example of business writing. This could be a memo, press release, email, etc. that was sent by a person (representing a company) or the company itself. You are looking for writing that is unclear, confusing, too wordy, etc. You can also look for bad resumes or cover letters from people writing about a job.

Here’s some GREAT example of bad business writing:

In your discussion, tell us about the example you choose. Why do you feel it is a good, bad example? What makes it bad, what are the consequences of the bad writing, and how could it be improved? Make sure you include a link for your example, so we can read it too!

In your peer responses, address the same questions as you did for your own post.
