The qualities and values of effective professional writing.

The qualities and values of effective professional writing.

Task:  This course focuses on the concept “professional writing.” That sounds straightforward enough, until you ask a person this question: What is professional

writing?

The problem is that “professional writing” is an abstract concept used to define many things: advertisements, reports, emails, proposals, marketing material, memos,

and the list goes on.

For this assignment, you are to describe how you understand this unwieldy abstract concept: Professional Writing.
approach this as a traditional short essay (400-500 words) with some version of the thesis, ‘Effective professional writing has qualities X, Y, & Z, and adheres to

values A, B, & C.’

You can get creative with format if you would like, but I do expect a text that addresses the point outlined in the template-thesis suggested above.

Rhetorical Situation:  As part of an application procedure for a professional position in your field, you have been asked to write a short statement describing what

you think are the qualities and values of professional communication.

Audience:  The people reviewing applications for a job opening you really really really want.
