Initial Writing Assessment

January 9, 2008

My major is Personal Financial Planning. I recently switched to this major from Accounting because although I enjoy dealing with numbers, I also enjoy working with people. I think that PFP will put my two skills of numbers and working with people together. Tech will provide me with the skills I need to be successful with PFP. The classes I take at Tech will teach me the tools I need to do my job correctly and accurately for my employer. I think the types of writing I will be doing in my future job will be typing proposals, memos and summaries of my clients. I will write on my job because I will need to document what my clients and I have decided to do for their accounts, savings and investments. I will be writing for my clients and coworkers. I can expect to have all kinds of audiences. I will understand that the type of audience I have will determine the type of writing I will use. When addressing an email address to my boss, I will explain myself clearly and accurately so he/she will be able to understand my job intentions. When addressing a client, I will break down my intentions from a PFP point of view to one that they will be able to understand clearly and easily.
