It’s hard to think of a more direct application of the skills you’re learning in this course than the kind of writing you’ll have to do to get a job. Considering the audience, purpose, and tone and using correct grammar and punctuation for cover letters and other written material while you\u2019re applying for the job is important.\u00a0 Once you have a job, you\u2019ll want to make sure that you sound professional and are able to meet the demands of the position that might require you to email your supervisor, correspond with other companies, or collaborate with co-workers.\u00a0 This section will give you an overview of some of the most common parts of business communication — memos, letters, proposals, grants, and interview materials.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
