I need to "secure" my new job by making a demo advertisment sort of thing for a boutique style store, which also has a cafe along with it. I want to impress the owner and bring it back tomorrow. Any suggestions? It can be anything I want really. Someone mentioned a postcard style, which is good and shouldn't be too hard, but I don't want the lady to think I'm slacking. She suggested special events such as mother daughter brunch and clothing sale, which I think I'm going with. I'm 17 and have never taken an advertising or business course! She appreciated the fact that I've won writing contests (for essays!) and that I'm taking college English courses next year (when I'm a Senior) but advertising just doesn't seem to be up that alley! Still this job is my dream job. I just need some help/tips!

An advertisement or a promotional activity?
if its for promotion…y dont dress up!
show off the things that make ur store special!
and of course, this makes everything more tangible, customers will more be delighted to be able to see the things, rather than just viewing their descriptions…

hope this helps! good luck with ur job and studies!

I HAVE BEEN AN ADMIN./CLERICAL PERSON AT MY COMPANY FOR 10 YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO GET PROMOTED TO SALES. I NEED TO WRITE A LETTER
ANY ADVISE WOULD BE APPRICATED

Yes. Proof read your letter, this one needed that. Don't use all capital letters. Since you didn't catch that, I have to assume you don't know it is improper. Have someone else proof it also. Hopefully, they would have caught the word advise used instead of advice.

Don't use abbreviations, especially when only one word of a group is abbreviated and the other is not. It looks sloppy. You also left the ending period off of the end of your post and the previous sentence. When I look at people's writing, I see these things, your potential boss might also see them.

What training and experience do you have in sales? Why would anyone give you a chance? Tell them those things. Sell yourself to them. If you can't sell yourself, how are you going to sell the company's product.

Sales and clerical take very different skills. You have proven yourself at clerical, prove to them why you are a good candidate for sales.

P.S. TNA gave an excellent answer.

The University of Iowa is pretty much the premier writing school in the nation. Just about anyone who is serious about writing wants to go there, but it is extremely difficult to get accepted.

There seem to be very few really good ones. I taught creative writing several years, but have been out of it for a while.

I noticed that most of the online courses that are offered are not what you expect at all any more. In a creatie writing course, you think you'll get to do some writing, but I took a look at one instructor's curriculum, and the first six weeks entailed no writing assignments!

Check everything out carefully before you send anyone money or sign any agreements. There are some serious rip-offs on the internet.

Good luck to you!

I'd like to take a course in literary writing, however I don't have the money to go back to college and there doesn't seem to be much available here in Spain, in terms of workshops.
Are there any *good*, trustworthy free Internet sites with this sort of thing, or am I just dreaming?

Hi Anna, take a look at these links, they might have what you're after.
