I will attend an interesting movie screening event “Farmerville” on behalf of Mr John on 29th January!
What I’ve completed this week
- Updated media roster, including design and editing of photos.
- More media clippings and collection of articles related to “The Enchanters”, “The Night Zoo”, “Her Holiness”, “The Velveteen Rabbit” and “Two Old Queens”.
- Proofread the Car Bay Agreement.
- Cleared and arranged the office.
- Requested an official invoice from a phone shop.
- Pack and sent out the goods to eBay buyers, and also replied to eBay queries, updated delivery status, and leaved feedbacks to buyers.
What I’ve learnt this week
- It is important to keep an official receipt for certain items such as newly purchased phone in case there is anything happen in the future.
- The sales on eBay were great. I agreed with what Mr John said, the internet shopping nowadays is slowly taking over physical retail stores, because things are cheaper online due to low business cost, as sellers are able to avoid paying rent, staffs, electricity bills, insurances, and the cost of renovating physical stores, which is a major cost saving (Michael Fox 2011).
- Proofread any agreement with someone to make sure that the content is correct and no error in the document. Careful proofing can avoid a great deal of embarrassment in public relations department (Kinzey 1999, 98).
Here are some tips to avoid errors from being published: Spell-checking the document, but do not rely on proofreading by looking at the computer screen; Two or three sets of eyes help expose punctuation, typographical and grammatical errors; Try reading the document aloud or backward to locate errors; Repeatedly check the spelling of names (Kinzey 1999, 98).
