Periodic Report: Filling in the Boss

You work hard at your job, but you rarely see your boss. He or she has asked to be informed of your activities and accomplishments and any problems you are encountering.

Your Task. For a job that you currently hold or a previous one, describe your regular activities, discuss irregular events that management should be aware of, and highlight any special needs or problems you are having. If you don't have a job, communicate to your instructor your weekly or monthly activities as they are tied to your classes, homework, and writing assignments. Establish components or criteria such as those in the bulleted e-mail in Figure 12.7. Use the memo format or write an e-mail report in bullet form as shown in Figure 12.7. Address the memo or the e-mail report to your boss or, alternatively, to your instructor.
