Assignment 2a,b,c


2A

Dear Mr Sandman,

I would like to apply for a job at you’re music store. Since I study in London I am looking for a job in London, and since I love music and all it’s aspects I’d love to work in such an environment as well.

I’ve already worked in a music store before in Manchester, I enjoyed it a lot but, I had to quit because of my study in London. I worked there for over 2 years, which only strengthened my interest for the music!

I’m looking forward to you’re response!

Kind regards,

Merlin bla

Assignment 4 Memo

TO: Management
FROM: Jelle Dekker, Communications Department
DATE: 17-09-10
SUBJECT: Super Sports Day

We want to organize a sports event for all our Dutch and American employees and their families.

The event would be a good thing for the spirit within the company. Employees would get to know each other better which would affect their work relation in a positive way. Besides that sports are healthy, and a healthy person is more likely to be a happy person. An employee in a good mood will deliver better results. Eventually the Super Sports Day will be an advantage for both parties, the company and our employees. Tennis seems like an appropriate choice to us. The skill level does not differ much in general, which will keep the Super Sports Day fun for everybody

If there is any question about the Super Sports Day unanswered, do not hesitate to contact us. We are looking forward to a great sports event.

Assignment 9 Another week passed by

This week we've finished the photoshop classes. The final assignment was to make a poster for cooperative communications, which they could use to promote this course. Last week we've started to work with audio. We are supposed to tell a story using only audio, but no speech, which is actually more difficult than I thought. It's quite hard to make sure everrybody or the majority imagines the same story just by listening to audio. Although it seems like a fun challenge. Fortunate the school supplied us with several websites which contain a lot of different  sounds, certainly helpful. Since this week my trips to school are shortened. My cousin who has a room in Utrecht left to Italy for a month, and im very thankful I'm allowed to use it as a place to stay. I'm not gonna stay there every night the coming month, but it's definitely useful when I have to be present early at school. Stay tuned.

Assignment 2 Email

Dear Colleagues,

The Princess Hall Theatre wants all its employees to represent this hardworking company.
We think that clothing determines a big part of the way employees represent The Princess Hall Theatre. That is why we think it is a good idea to introduce a dress code for all our employees. As a Theatre we want our employees to be recognizable for our guests at any time. A suit was the first thing that came to our mind and is in our opinion still the best option. We think it’s a sign of professionalism. However we would like to know your opinion on this matter before we decide anything. Also do not hesitate to add additional suggestion if you have any. In 2 weeks we are going to consider all the suggestions made and opinions shared. Grab this opportunity and set this dress code to your own likings!

Kind regards,

Jelle Dekker
Communications Department
The Princess Hall Theatre

Assignment 5 OV

I 'd like you to know that I've been struggling for over two weeks now with getting things done with my OV Chipcard. I've made several phone calls and have filled in and sent two forms already. These phone calls were the most frustrating. The people working at these call centres do simply not know anything about this Chipcard. Besides that, the people I spoke to were simply not qualified for the job. For example, the first time I called the help desk. When I was finished with telling him whats wrong with my OV Chipcard his reply was: "Could you call back later?". And I was like "Are you kidding me?!", "why!?". And than he just simply hung up on me. The next person I spoke to wasn't very helpful either, he told me to go to the OV desk at the central station but, that didn't get me any further either. Last Friday I finally received the correct form. I should receive my new OV Chipcard within a month. It won't be here any soon, that's for sure! Don't break or lose your OV Chipcard, it's a pain in the ass!!

Assignment 1 Brand new

A new study! Till now I found the assignments very interesting! I feel like I've made the right decision by choosing Cooperative communications. Also the location of the school is perfect, I currently live in Driebergen which is very close to Utrecht. That's why I'll probably wait until next year with starting to live on my own in Utrecht. This year I had a lot of doubts about continuing with football, I found rowing very interesting but I decided to continue with football and I'm simply too busy to do both. At first I was a little surprised about the schedule, we've only got classes 3 days a week. Ofcourse I can't do nothing the rest of the week but, I like the freedom this has to offer. At the same time this freedom could be risky but, I think I'm well able to focus myself on my work when needed. I think I am because I'm much better prepared than I used to be. In the past my workspace was a mess and I used to wright things down as separate notes. Now I've organised my desk and I've made a map which has tabs for every class to wright things down. Besides that this study is much more in my interest than the one I chose Last year, which makes me willing to invest more time into it and make more of an effort. I'm looking forward to the coming year!
