Job advertisements, menus, memos and documents

Other Media

The effectiveness of any written communication is affected by the quality of the editing. It doesn't matter what type of document you are writing; if it's poorly written, the impact of the message will be lessened. This is true of both "internal" and "external" communications. For example, an unclear memo or project specification for employees (internal) creates confusion and additional work. A poorly written job description or advertisement will turn away potential applicants or customers (external.) A well-writen curriculum vitae / résumé will increase of your chances of getting called to an interview.

Proofreading all communication is a simple and cost-effective way of maximising its impact.

Examples:
  • Job descriptions
  • Résumé / curriculum vitae
  • Project specifications
  • Advertisements

Translation

If you are providing content that has been translated into English, then ensure its accuracy by having it edited.

Examples:
  • Restaurant menus
  • Product documentation
  • On-screen assistance and help pages
