All stores will be closed on Sundays. By cutting down on days and hours this allows us to keep the great low prices that our customers are use to and it also allows for all existing locations to stay open so that you can continue to shop with us at any of your favorite locations. Your business is highly valued to us and we will continue to provide the same great service that we pride ourselves in. Implementing these changes will allow for us to provide the same great prices. We look forward to your business and are proud to offer you the best retail experience available. Best wishes, Jordan Pappas Pubic relations Manager Part III: In writing this portfolio I found it extremely difficult to put myself in the position of the Manager, Employee, and Consumer. I found it important to do so, so that I could effectively deliver the bad news in an effective manner without disappointing anyone and also showing how the cuts in hours could be beneficial to everyone affected. In most academic writing assignments you only have to think of one type of audience but in this case we were forced to think about multiple audiences. The difference with this paper compared to the writing assignments that I’ve had to do in the past is the papers that I’ve done before required research in order to gather appropriate information to put into the assignment. With this one I had to learn to put myself in the position of each
Sean should type “MEMORANDUM” at the top of the page, for whom the memo, the date, and the subject of the memo. In writing the body of his memo, he should introduce the problem in the first paragraph, and give some context. Also, he should suggest actions that the readers should take seriously and lastly, close with a positive summary. Then, finalize the format of his memo properly, proofread it and hand write initials of his name.
Other retailers should only close on Sundays if it follows their religious belief/standpoint. Otherwise, they wise well be open Sundays, because restaurants such as McDonald’s are all over the world, and different countries may not practice their religion on Sundays. Chick-fil-A is founded by a Christian man, who choses to have his business closed on Sundays, because he believes in a day of
The writing process for the Unit 3 paper was both lengthy and challenging. By the end of Unit 2, I had gathered over twenty different sources to aid me in writing my Unit 3 paper. I expected the Unit 3 paper to go smoothly, for I had a plethora of sources at my disposal paired with my knowledge of the topic. However, this was not the case, and so the writing process began.

Although I was a junior and only two-years away from being an independent college student, I was still attached and only aware of how to write using the five paragraph essay guidelines. Immediately when assigned my first six page research paper, thoughts of how this would even be possible when I have not written more than five paragraph? Because I had only written based on structure my entire life, I began researching different structures on how I could write this six page paper, completely being blinded by the fact that a structure was not necessary. The required length of the paper was not the only difficult factor of the assignment.
The most difficult thing about this paper was trying to stay within 750 words. It made me learn how to get to the point with fewer words.
In order to succeed in any business, it is extremely important to understand the stock market. In this assignment we were asked to follow the stock market continuously for four months and understand the market. The stock market is a global marketplace, where goods and services are traded in the form of equities.
As you can see, the store will be opening one hour later in the morning and closing an hour earlier in the evenings. This is due in part to the tough economic times for everyone. It does make us proud to announce that all of our Am Burr Krombie Jacket stores will remain open.
My experience writing this paper was educating and informing. I haven’t written a paper in quite some time. So relearning the format of APA and reference siting helped me remember how a paper should be done correctly. Writing this paper made
Many companies have implemented the benefit of tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement benefits both the employer and the employee. Our company has approved a budget plan for the expansion of tuition reimbursement for those employees seeking a bachelor’s degree in business and communication. In most cases, companies begin determining whether or not to implement tuition assistance and/or tuition reimbursement during the developmental stages of the company’s benefit package. Other companies wait for the success of the company to begin rolling, and then decide to provide additional benefits for its employees. Offering tuition assistance to employees seeking a bachelor’s degree in business and communication, will qualify employees for new internal professional opportunities. Having employees with bachelor’s degree in business and communications will also benefit the company both financially and socially.
This semester of writing has been truly interesting for me. Being able to write within a topic that interests me has made the process more exciting and engaging. I can see this growth in my papers this semester, but I feel that other, perhaps, cannot. It is true that the mechanics of my writing have improved and I am more able to articulate my thoughts and position. However, the real improvement, that other may not see, has been in my self-esteem and confidence in my own writing skills. I chose my sixth writing assignment as my example of progress for a variety of reasons. The two most prominent reasons are that it is one of my later assignments, and, therefore, will represent the most recent evidence of my progress and that it received my highest grade of all of my assignments.

Over the past few months, I have learned several different writing techniques. While all of the different types of papers were difficult to write, I believe that my writing skills have improved. In fact, I did not understand all of the assignments, but I did try to do my best on all of them. While I should have used more transitional words in between sentences and paragraphs, I feel that I learned a great deal. It is true that I have not had very much writing experience and the writing process is difficult for me. Sometimes, I do admit, it takes days to complete one assignment, but it will be worth it when I am a proficient writer.
