Job Memo

Write a memo that describes either a job or internship you currently have, or one you’ve had in the past that would be fun to write about.

Use the techniques of Plain English so that everybody in class can understand every word you write. And make sure to use examples and comparisons.

Length: About two pages. Single-space paragraphs, double space between paragraphs. Use sans serif headers, don’t indent paragraphs. Use “Medical Technologist” memo from the handout as your guide. A copy of those pages are part of the “Job Memo” PDF, as well.

Finally, run your paper through a grammar checker and attach a list of important statistics, as discussed in Chapter 2. Special requirement: no passive verbs at all.
