Professional Bio.

Most social media websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and others ask you to post your professional bio.

As you are writing your bio, keep in mind that you want to share enough information to create a professional image online, but not as much information as you would on a resume. Too much information that is made public may endanger your privacy.

Your bio should be about 100 to 150 words (about four short paragraphs), should be well organized, and easy to read using separate paragraphs and/or headings for the different types of information provided.

Here are some writing tips:

Use your name as the title.
Begin with a strong statement (perhaps your mission).
Consider your audience. Who do think will be reading this information? Consider what is important to the reader and emphasize those points.
Keep it interesting. Don’t be afraid to show a little bit of your personality.
Be factual. Cite relevant experiences.
Keep it short and to the point. Just cover the highlights.
Don’t forget relevant volunteer activities, community affiliations, and professional organizations, if applicable.
End with a special interest or anecdote that makes you unique (memorable).
Questions to consider:
Who are you?
How did you get to be who you are?
What are you doing now?
What would you like to do in the future?
Use proper grammar and spelling.
You may add a photo (optional).

MGMT550 Week 2 Assignment Latest 2018 May

Create an Email Message. For this assignment, you need to create a response to each of the email messages provided. View the five emails from the Week 2 Email Assignment Tab. Your assignment is to create the responses to each of these emails.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to apply writing principles while responding to business email. The emails you’ll receive simulate internal and external messages. Assume that you are employed at the Blue Bay Resort and Conference Center. As you might expect, the culture is fast paced and fairly informal, with employees relying heavily on email. While speed is important, high value is also placed on precision: all of your email responses should be grammatically correct and error-free.

You will play the role of the Catering Director for the Blue Bay Resort and Conference Center. You took this job a year ago and are busier than you ever imagined—running from meeting to meeting every day. Your only time to respond to your email is during your short breaks between customer meetings. As usual, you have a flood of messages which all seem critical. Your challenge during this assignment is to respond to all of your email and write clear responses.

When responding to each of the messages, consider each of the following:

What do you think is an appropriate response to your message?
What information do you think should be included?
What might be inappropriate for this type of message?
How long should an appropriate response be?
What would you consider too long?
