Lots of Writing

April 18

I have worked a lot on the manual over the last few days. I have been trying to get the last two sections finished. I am taking most of what will go into these sections from materials that they use when training new Admissions Reps. The materials they gave me are not all that great, but they gave me a good place to start.

The first section that I am working on is the introduction to the company. This section will have the company’s mission statement and statement of values. My supervisor’s supervisor is also supposed to be writing a general history of the company. I think he is also writing a letter to put in the very beginning of the manual. I doubt he will finish these two things by the end of the semester, though.

The next section is an introduction to the Admissions Rep’s job and the general skills that he or she will need. I am including job descriptions in this section. I thought that job descriptions would go better in the first section, but my supervisor wanted it in this section.

Overall, these two sections are going to be pretty short compared to the last two sections. I think the manual will end up being about forty pages before the appendix.
