About Notice
Job notice is to face the society to choose employees. Whether or not a job notice is well written, it will affect the application effect and the unit image.
Headline
The headline of a notice has 2 kinds. One is "Job notice announcement" or "Surely hire"; this kind of headline is simple and direct clear. Another is slogan or slogan type. The characteristics of this kind of headline is lively, which can attract people's attention and have certain temptation hint.
Beginning
The beginning mainly describes the reason for notice. Familiarly there are three kind of beginning methods.
1) Direct style: A few words are spoken to draw the topic directly. It's concise and lively, with job notice information released primarily. More suitable for the enterprises to attract high visibility.
2) The brief introduction type. Firstly describe the unit briefly to make candidates have a roughly understanding for the unit. This beginning method, for companies with no high reputation o newly entering a business. This style can make candidates have a basis while making their choices.
3) Discussion type
Now, in the job notice in the second method often become company's product advertising and business presentation, deviated from the theme. The third kind of beginning way now is rare. This is actually should be advocated. Cannot brag and escape from the unit actual.
Body
Job notice mainly list the profession of job (or post), requirements, number and treatment etc...
Application Methods
Application methods have two kinds commonly: one is direct interview; another is using the letter or email to register.
Job notice should consider making and releasing after drafting. Generally speaking, job notice in the layout should not be too small. Some unit simply set out from the expenses angle, the layout of printed sheet is too small to clip in numerous advertisements. This kind of job notice can not attract enough readers' attention. The purpose of job notice is to enroll qualified applicant candidate. So if the layout is too small, there will be no enough candidates for the interview, as a result, will delay the work and waste money. Therefore, the layout should combine manuscripts and space. This is not to say that we must follow the style blindly, but we should make use of a job advertisement to enhance the reputation of the company. In addition the whole layout can do some special design. Have a "logo" of the unit will highlight the enterprise image.

Task Analysis
How to Write E-mails
Admitting you doesn't have an Email address these days is almost like admitting you still
listen to eighttrack tapes. Email is an important working step. An employees' Email is a company asset and can be reviewed at any time by the employer. STEP ONE Use a subject line, a word or brief phrase to tell your reader right away what the Email is about. Most Email servers have their own format, but all will have some sort of space for this purpose. STEP TWO
Start with "Hi" or "Hello", or the person's name followed by a comma or dash. The "Dear"
convention of letters is generally too formal for Email. STEP THREE
State your message succinctly; don't send highimpact news; don't write anything you don't
Capability Goal
Knowledge Goal
want the world to know. Email is far from private and it is easily forwarded or misrouted. It was never meant for confidential messages.
STEP FOUR
Don't send an urgent message by Email unless you know the person is expecting it or you call to say its coming. There's no guarantee it will be read immediately. Some people check their Email frequently and in many offices users are notified when Email comes in, but other people may not read an Email for days.
STEP FIVE
Don't write angry Emails, it's too easy to fire out first thoughts and regret them afterwards.
STEP SIX
Don't use all capital letters unless you want the recipient to understand that you are YELLLING.
STEP SEVEN
If appropriate, tell what action you expect: a telephone call, an Email response, attendance at a meeting. When the Email is simply for their information, indicate this.
STEP EIGHT
Close with a courtesy, if you wish, or with just your name. Formal closings, for example, "Sincerely", "Truly yours", aren't necessary.
STEP NINE
In some cases, include your full name, title, telephone number and Email address. This identifies you quickly and is useful if the Email is forwarded to a third party who needs to contact you.

About E-mails
Email is an informal way to send messages as long as you retain the same boundaries of propriety you would use if dealing with the person facetoface. For example, if you address the CEO of the company by surname in person, do not switch to the first name when sending Email. There are a few general guidelines to keep in mind when communicating online.
Writings for Internal Communications Project One

few lines long, divide the text into paragraphsized pieces, so it is easier to read.
Secondly, use a meaningful subject line. If a busy professional cannot figure out what an Email is about from the subject line, the message usually gets ignored or deleted.
Thirdly, make sure all messages posted are relevant to the subject at hand. When replying to someone, quote the parts of the original message that pertain to your reply.
Fourthly, it is great to send out beautifully formatted messages with special italics, bold type, or heavily formatted HTML, unfortunately some mail systems will not deliver the message in the same format as it was sent.
A plain text message may not look as pretty as you want, but it will not look worse than it did when you sent it.
Pay attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Of course, they are the base of your writing. They make the message more easily understood, not to mention professional. Virtually every Email program today has a spelling and grammar check feature, so there is no reason not to use it. Another option would be to type your message in Microsoft Word, check for any spelling, punctuation, or grammar error. Then cut and paste the message into the body of the Email.

About Itinerary & schedule
Before the secretary arranges the itinerary for the boss, he or she should understand the company by system and the necessary procedures. For example, whether there is any travel department in the company; have a designated secretary is responsible for the manager of the whole company; if a travel agency is entrusted for the process, which one it is; the manager is going by first or economy class.
After understanding these, the secretary will get to know whether he or she should put these arrangements to others or do it by him or herself. No matter who will be in charge, the required accommodation must be fixed in advance.

ticket, train ticket and reserving rooms for employees. This department is equipped with the latest plane, train and ship timetables. The Travel Department sometimes also entrusts travel agency to handle the same business.
Although the boss's arrangement is executed by others, the secretary has responsibility to tell the boss's needs and preference to other people. Whenever the boss mentions an itinerary, the secretary should start collecting materials. Before contact with travel department, the secretary should collect the following material first:
1. Destination;
2. Midway anchorage, including come and go itinerary;
3. Date and time for the first business reserves, and on arrival and between the times needed for the meeting; 4. More willing to which day departure; 5. Transportation method—by airplane, train or bus etc. 6. Service category—first class or economy class; 7. Preferred hotel and location; 8. Required transport services after arriving destination.
The secretary also needs to know the boss's home telephone number. Airlines require registration of the passengers units and residential telephone to inform the news of flight changes.
For the sake of improving, the secretary should stay a record to this itinerary arrangement. When the boss comes back, the secretary should pay attention to the transportation and the hotel circumstance, and then put it and the written itinerary together.
