11. In a resume, you need to sound positive and confident, neither too aggressive nor

begin with a verb. The following words and phrases are intended as suggestions
for thinking about your experience and abilities: accomplish; achieve; analyze;
adapt; balance; collaborate; coordinate; communicate; compile; conduct;
contribute; complete; create; delegate direct; establish; expand; improve;
implement; invent; increase; initiate; instruct; lead; organize; participate;
perform; present; propose; reorganize; research; set up; supervise; support;
train; travel; work (effectively, with others) 
Interview 1. Research your employer thoroughly, who they are, what they do, who they
work with, how they have adapted during lock down and who are their
competition. Are they working on anything new and innovative that you find
interesting or aligns with your knowledge and expertise? Communicate
clearly and articulate your motivation for wanting to work for them.
2. Understand what it is you are bringing to the organization in terms of skills
and knowledge. At this stage in your career all your experiences: internships,
projects, and all kinds of part time jobs are important and relevant. Identify
these skills and give examples of them in your interviews.
Presentatio 1. Pay attention to proper posture – be mindful of weird mannerisms that may
n skills distract the audience

importance, conclusion.
3. Make eye contact
 4. Speak loudly and clearly
5. Focus on linking and signalling words ('Next', 'Now I'd like you to look at…'
etc.). 
Let's say the topic is about volcanoes. You want people to know about why volcanoes
form and why they erupt. This would be an informative/awareness-raising presentation.
So by the end, everyone should know something new about volcanoes. Your plan might
look like this:
 Introduction - what is a volcano? (2 minutes)
 Types of volcano (5 minutes)
 Volcanoes around the world (2 minutes)
 Cause and effect of volcanoes (2 minutes)
 Conclusion (2-3 minutes)

Email 1. Optimize your subject line: Use action verbs so the reader knows what you
writing want it done.
Bad example: Meeting, Following Up or Checking In.
Good example: PASS Process Meeting - 10 a.m. February 25, 2021
2. Place your key message and call to action near the top so it’s the first thing
your reader sees.
3. Present yourself as the trusted professional: Be polite, say please and thank
you as appropriate. Keep a professional tone: avoid slang, exclamation marks,
and smiley faces. Use a suitable greeting and opening.
4. Keep your email signature simple and clear. (Your first and last name. Your
job title and company. Your contact information. A link to your company’s
website or any other relevant pages).
5. Review and revise: use the spell-check feature to reduce errors (Grammarly),
typos, homonyms and usage errors. Make sure you have attached any
important files or included any necessary link.

Report 1. What is a report? 

writing A report is a formal document that elaborates on a topic using facts, charts,
and graphs to support its arguments and findings.

writing city, state, and zip code -- in the upper left-hand corner.
2. Skip a line and include the date.
3. Skip a line and place the recipient's full address. Here, you'll want to include
the company name, the recipient's name and title.
4. Subject (It should be an instant idea of the theme and should not be written in
more than one line).
5. Skip one more line to insert the greeting. This is called the salutation. In a
 formal letter, you can use a generic, "To Whom It May Concern:" or, "Dear
Mr. Henry:" Formal letters tend to require a colon after the greeting, and
informal letters take a comma.
6. Skip a line and begin the letter. In the body of your letter, separate your
thoughts into paragraphs. You never want to draft one big block of text. For
each new set of thoughts or ideas, begin a new paragraph.
7. Skip one of your final lines to include a complimentary close. The closing can
be as simple as, "Sincerely," "Yours truly," or "Gratefully." This should end
with a comma.
8. Skip three lines (where you'll insert your handwritten signature), and type
your full name. You may also include your title on the next line.
9. If you're including any attachments with your letter, skip one more line and
type "Enclosure." If there's more than one attachment, indicate how many
there are in parentheses, as in "Enclosure (4)."
