Ch. 13: Additional Exercise 3

A Closer Look at Formal Reports in the Workplace

Interview a local professional who writes recommendation reports. (See Chapter 5 for a discussion of interviewing.) What process does he or she use in creating the report, and what does he or she see as the most important aspects of writing such a report? To what extent do the information and suggestions provided by the professional match those provided in Chapter 13? Respond in a 500-word memo to your instructor.
