Here are some tools you can use to perform better in your job and move ahead in your careerThe Business Writing Course on CDOne thing we all have in common whether we're working for ourselves or in a big company is writing. We all need to write to customers, colleagues, bosses. We need to write businesslike e-mail messages that don't sound like they came from a demented fifteen-year-old, and many of us have to write business reports of different kinds. Poor writing skills can hurt you in many ways. If you work in the corporate world, they can hold you back from the job you want or the promotion you want. They can cause miscommunication and misunderstandings that lead to difficulties with fellow employees. If you work for yourself, you can lose business if your writing skills don't measure up. The Business Writing Course on CD could be your answer. It's a 12-part multi-media program by communication expert Helen Wilkie, including live video of her explaining points (in a lively, fun way that's easy to follow and not boring at all) as well as PowerPoint presentations to explain and illustrate. Just put the CD into your computer and follow the lessons at your own speed and on your own time. There are also support materials and assignments to make sure you are understanding the lessons as you go. This course will polish up your writing skills much faster than could ever happen in school, and it's a lot more fun.
