WE #4 / Teamwork

Teamwork, is when two or more people come together with thoughts and ideas and complete a project. Working as a team will make a tasks seem a lot easier then having to work on it individually. Many supervisors will place a person who is a leader and can work well with others, as the "captain" when determining who is to do what on a project.

Verbal Communication

“Verbal communication skills are important for me to have as an administrative professional for the following reasons. . .”    

Verbal communication skills are important simply because we all have to communicate in order to get anything done. Communication is the KEY to all success--personal or business. Verbal communications are words that are spoken--and written. Listen is also a skill that goes along with communication skills.

• able to take effective notes
• able to compose letters and memos
• send emails
• leave detailed voice messages

Written Communication

This chapter has helped me recognize that I can strengthen my written communication in the following ways.--- Proofread and do not write when I am upset! I realize that often times if I get upset or aggravated and have to write, I can tell that my attitude comes through in the words and structure that I use. Also, I need to proofread better, and be more precise when I am trying to get someone to understand how to do something. I realize that I will tell someone that "this needs to be done" but not telling them how to do it, just in case they do not know.

Work Ethic- RESPECT

Respect is defined as a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. I agree with that, but I think that respect goes further than just admiration. I may not necessary like a person, but I will still respect them or the title that they hold. The old saying--to get respect, you have to give respect!--is so true. You have to treat me, the same way you want to be treated regardless of the situation. Respect will take people a long way in life and business, because respect is HIGH on a lot of peoples ethic standards.

Week 9 / File Managment

What is the distinction between a file and a folder? A file is defined as a document that holds information. A folder is defined as a placement that contains files. As far as file and folders are concerned when it comes to computers--the icons will help you determine between the two. A file will have the icon for which the document was created in---word, excel, access, etc. A folder icon will be one that looks like a folder.

WE #2 - Attendance

Attendance is defined as the action or state of being present. Your attendance speaks volumes for your work ethic and how much you care about your fellow co-workers. As an employee, you have to be present in order to complete tasks that are assigned to you as an individual, or to help out on a team project. Employers look at people with a great attendance record as dependable and trustworthy, and this will be the people who move forward in their career.

I can honestly say that I do work on my assigned schedule days, but I sometimes have the habit of being late. Lateness reflects on my attendance because I often get told by my supervisors "better late then not at all!" So, for myself I need to work on being on time!
