Summative Test M6 Module 6 English at WorkPlace

The following text is for questions 1 to 4

Are you ready to be the boss' right hand? Executive assistants work with high-level executives at a company to provide top-level assistance. More elite than an entry-level assistant or secretary, an executive assistant is trusted with more high-end or complex duties. In addition to handling incoming and outgoing communication, filing and clerical work, executive assistants might be in charge of scheduling meetings, maintaining complex filing systems and databases, document review and preparation and possibly overseeing other staff.

Most administrative assistants need only a high school diploma with basic English and computer skills, but executive assistants are usually hired after years of assistant or secretarial experience.

The following text is for questions 5 to 8

You know what the numbers mean. If you understand math, have a head for figures, and like to keep track of how everyone spends the company dime, you might be ready for a bookkeeping job. Bookkeepers, or bookkeeping clerks, work with a company's accounts, making sure that every transaction, deposit, and income is recorded in the company ledger. Bookkeepers use software to track these numbers, sometimes take in cash and checks, and record the transactions. Bookkeepers are often called upon to produce reports to help explain to management where company money is going and make sure that any discrepancies in the financial records are reconciled.

Most bookkeepers have a high school diploma, and some employers might require secondary education. You will certainly need some understanding of basic accounting practices, computers and spreadsheets, although you may learn some of this on the job. Certification by the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers or the National Bookkeepers Association is available.

Dear Ms. Lesser,

My previous work experience and leadership roles make me an ideal candidate for a summer internship with Florida Studios. Your company has an excellent reputation for customer satisfaction, and I know that the combination of my experience, education, and motivation to excel will make me an asset to your marketing department. (paragraph 1)

My experience in sales and customer service, combined with my courses in psychology, has convinced me that hospitality marketing is a career option that would suit me well. In my position with Drake Productions last year, I was recognized as the top sales associate in their summer program. I am sure that I can put this same skill to use for you, and yet continue to improve upon it as I learn from some of the top marketing executives in the business. (paragraph 2)

I look forward to contacting you within a week to talk about the possibility of an interview. Should you have any questions before that time, you may reach me via phone (386-555-2922) or via email (cra8z@virginia.edu). (paragraph 3)

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Casey Amore
