COM 215 Week 2 CheckPoint Communication Strategies NEW

In order for written business communication to be effective, the writer must take the audience into consideration by focusing on readability level, style, and elements that build goodwill (Locker, 2006). Think about the information below as you formulate your answers to this CheckPoint.
Scenario 1:
Readability Formula: As the text suggests, writers will want to make the content easy to read by simplifying ideas, organizing them logically, and laying out the document in an appealing way. Refer to the Gunning Fog Index and the Flesch Reading Ease Scale to calculate readability formulas. In addition to the course text, search the Internet for information regarding readability formulas.
Good Style: This scenario deals with bad news (a negative message). Not only will classmates be missing out on the trip to Mexico, but they will also lose their deposits. While it is important to be honest, the structure of the message is important. Building Goodwill: The writer of this message is merely the messenger; the situation is out of his/her hands. Although reimbursing classmates would be ideal, the bus company is filing for bankruptcy and may not have much to offer. What other alternatives might be possible?
The writer should also try to determine the audience’s initial reaction, the amount of information required, positive aspects that can be emphasized as well as obstacles that must be overcome, and expectations of the audience.
Scenario 2:
Readability Formula: As the text suggests, writers will want to make the content easy to read by simplifying ideas, organizing them logically, and laying out the document in an appealing way. Refer to the Gunning Fog Index and the Flesch Reading Ease Scale to calculate readability formulas. In addition to the course text, search the Internet for information regarding readability formulas.
COM 215 Written Communication
Course Syllabus Page 11 COM 215
Good Style: In the business world, busy people do not have time to wade through extraneous details. Think about what resolution would be appropriate, with precise details included.
Building Goodwill: Scenario 2 is both a negative message and a persuasive message. Think about the best way to organize information for these types of messages. Finally, is a continued relationship with the bank important? If it is, that relationship can be a powerful persuader, too.
The writer should also try to determine the audience’s initial reaction, the amount of information required, positive aspects that can be emphasized as well as obstacles that must be overcome, and expectations of the audience.

Read the following scenarios:•
o Scenario 1: The trip scheduled for Mexico during spring break has been cancelled due to the bankruptcy of the bus company. You must tell 25 of your classmates that the trip has been cancelled and that they have lost their $100 deposit. How will you convey the information and still uphold their goodwill toward you?
o Scenario 2: Your local bank made a mistake on your printed checks. Additionally, the bank charged you for the checks, even though the order was supposed to be complimentary for customers opening a new account. How would you draft a letter that allows your irritation to work for, rather than against, you?

COM 215 Week 4 CheckPoint Organizing Information in Messages NEW

Although all business communication shares some common characteristics, differences do exist among informative, positive, negative, and persuasive messages. For example, in order to elicit the most favorable response, it is important to determine how to layer the information in the message, especially if the content is negative. Providing the best possible customer service for both internal and external audiences hinges on good communication. Because writers do not have a second opportunity to create a first impression, planning what to say and how to say it is an essential step in successful business communication.

COM 215 Week 6 CheckPoint Nonverbal and Verbal Communication NEW

Nonverbal Communication: Listeners glean a large portion of meaning from the facial expressions and body language of a speaker, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. For example, it is difficult for most of us to conceal emotions when delivering an unpleasant message, and it is also easy for listeners to misinterpret our meaning, especially when communication takes place across cultures. Nonverbal cues, personal space, and pacing all take on different meanings for different individuals. It is important to be aware of those meanings, especially in a global business environment.
Verbal Communication: Understanding cultural contrasts is also essential for verbal communication (whether oral or written). Learning to communicate with people in the country in which you are working or doing business goes beyond simply learning the language. It also involves being aware of levels of formality, style, religious and cultural practices and beliefs, and values. In any culture, your personal and professional success depends to a great extent on your ability to communicate.

COM 215 Week 8 CheckPoint Job-Search Management NEW

Finding a job in today’s competitive market takes not only time but also strategic planning. Certain details attract the attention of interviewers, and other aspects of job-search communication routinely disqualify applicants. Savvy applicants know how to highlight strengths and learn how to deal with any difficulties in their work background. It is also important for the applicant to gear résumés and application letters to each specific job description.
Many companies now prefer online résumés, which differ slightly from traditional hardcopy résumés. Job seekers can also use online job boards, such as www.monster.com, to their advantage.
Creating résumés and job-application letters is only half the battle. Applicants also need to manage the interview process, including writing follow-up letters and phone calls, and then they need to determine which position to accept once an offer has been made.
