Business Writing Enhances Employee Value
Do you dread writing? Have you ever stared at a blank page for hours trying to find the perfect words for the writing project at hand? Writing is a part of every business, but unfortunately, many fear writing tasks.
Clear, effective business writing is an important part of today’s business culture. With the advent of the Web as well as the proliferation of business communications, it is simply impossible to avoid writing tasks.
Indeed, you may find yourself losing out on promotions, raises and other benefits that good writers acquire. A survey of Fortune 1000 executives illustrates how important writing can be to your future. Eighty percent of participants said they had decided not to interview job candidates based solely on a cover letter or resume full of writing errors; 90% of these same executives said that poor writing skills hurt employees’ chances when it came to being promoted.
