Writing your own resume
Article Abstract:
The main challenge in writing an effective resume is to provide the information necessary to suggest that the author is a knowledgable professional moving in a positive direction. Job titles should be clearly stated, and position in an organization should be stated so as to give the most favorable impression to the reader. In applying for a supervisory position, it is especially important to emphasize communication ability and concern for people, including skills such as delegation and team building. Seeking a second opinion of resumes can be a valuable way to focus goals and acquire valuable feedback. Thirteen guidelines for the physical set-up of a resume are provided.

Seven steps to better reports
Article Abstract:
There are seven steps that can help a manager produce succinct and persuasive reports: defining the problem to be addressed by the report; developing a work plan for writing the report and the time it will take to complete the report; gathering the relevant data; developing conclusions that are based on the data; generating recommendations for action based on the conclusions of the report; producing the report; and paying careful attention to the appearance of the report. Reports should always be given the 'A B C test', that is, reviewed for accuracy, brevity, and clarity.

Making report writing easier
Article Abstract:
Three types of business reports are: informational, interpretive, and recommendation. Informational reports such as progress and narrative reports describe situations without analysis. Interpretive reports both describe and analyze a situation, such as sales marketing. Recommendation reports propose the viability of action, such as purchasing computers or implementing a program. Three types of recommendation reports are comparison reports, feasibility reports, and proposals. Outlines for each type of report are given.
