Writing at Work A Guide to Better Writing Administration, Business and Managemen.pdf

Writing at Work

At work in administration, business or management, or when studying these

subjects, you probably use a pen or computer keyboard more than any other

equipment. Writing at Work will help you to ensure that your writing works

for you, helping you:

– to record, remember, think and plan

– to be well organised and avoid stress

– to write better letters, memoranda and e-mails

– to express yourself clearly and persuasively

– to capture and hold your readers’ interest

– to inﬂuence colleagues, customers and suppliers

– to achieve your short-term and career goals

Other essential topics covered include ﬁnding information, report writing

and the use of numbers, tables and illustrations. And there is advice on

talking at work: in interviews, on the telephone, in meetings, and when

giving a presentation or addressing an audience.

Robert Barrass has many years’ experience of helping students on degree and

diploma courses at the University of Sunderland to improve their writing. His

best-selling books on key skills include Study ! and Students Must Write , which

are also published by Routledge.
