Email newsletters: what info do you want?

I’ve offered to re-write a company’s email newsletter.
(a social-dance club)
When you get an email newsletter, what kind of information would make you want to read it?
Are you looking for interesting stores or trivia?
Sales- promotions?
Updates on the business’s activities?
The newsletter comes out every month and currently it’s basically asking members to bring in new members, unless there’s a time/location change. Zzzzzz Very little of value
What would make you want to read a newsletter?
How can I make it interesting?

Well, considering the company (a social dance club), I think your best best is something that is eye catching. Colorful graphics, font, and a few photos. As far as actual content, updates and activities for future events, introductions of new members and maybe even a section on club tunes of the month might be your best bet.

How to wirte my objective on my resume? Help!?

Im 16 and i got a job application form for working at the metro store. But i don’t know how to write my resume objective. Im not looking for a particular position anything will do for me, as long as its not lifting heavy objects.
Please help thanks =)

It would help to know what the metro store is. With the reference to heavy lifting perhaps it involves stocking at a store such as Home Depot or Lowes.
At 16, I really would not expect a resume to accompany your job application. I would get most of my information about you from your pre-job activities such as playing a sport or being a member of several school clubs while still maintaining a good GPA. Volunteering in your community would also be helpful. I would ask you questions off of your application to determine job fit. Also, at 16, it is doubtful that your job could include heavy lifting. From the ages of 14-18, employers have to follow certain labor laws one of which is to prevent you from operating hazardous machinery or working in a generally hazardous area.
If you feel you need a resume with an objective to get this job, start with learning everything you can about the company. Gear your objective (job position request) toward something you are interested in and might be able to learn a useful life skill at. Most 16 year old’s objective is just to make at least minimum wage. By having a clear objective that is not just about the money, your application would stand out more. Be sure to check your spelling and grammar before submitting the resume and application.

What is the different Shortcomings vs. weaknesses? Please give examples.?

I am writing a self-evaluation paper for my internship and we have to write our strengths, weaknesses, shortcomings, and future career interests. Can someone please give me an example of shortcomings and how they differ from weakness? Thank you.

A shortcoming is the inability to reach a certain level or goal. Like you can really try hard and never really be an A student in math. You simply do not have the ability to do it as easily as someone else. Thats a shortcoming. A weakness in its simplest term is the inability to be strong. If you simply cannot resist the temptation to eat ice cream when you know its in that freezer, thats a weakness.

There are many messages to point out to young
adults that alcohol,drugs,abuse of beer,wine,sugar,
or cholesterol is unhealthy. When the body requires
a balance of vitamins it makes one stronger. Go to
church, sit in the front area, think of all those struggles
already accomplished, and God likes us to progress,
succeed, and improve for a better adult life. Life should
include sharing, love, faith, and hope for the new world.
Making ones mind more intense is done with study,
natural beauty, and exhiliration of wholesome actions.

The Differences Between Chicago (Turabian) Style and APA Style of Writing

A formal paper, such as a dissertation or a thesis, requires you to follow several formatting rules. The rules provide a structure for the paper, giving instructors the ability to work through the paper’s ideas and to judge the validity of your arguments. Such rules also give you a standard, acceptable method for citing the sources that you’ve used to create your paper, and thereby avoiding inadvertently plagiarizing some material. Determining which set of formatting rules, or styles, to follow is a decision you and your instructor will need to make. A few different popular formats exist, including MLA Style, chiefly used for the humanities and liberal arts, along with APA Style and Chicago (Turabian) Style.

Generally, you select the style to follow based on the subject matter of the paper you’re writing. Each style treats the formatting of the paper a little differently to meet the citation needs for the subject matter. In this article, we’ll compare APA Style and Chicago (Turabian) Style.

I. CHOOSING YOUR STYLE

If your instructor doesn’t select the style that you’ll use for your paper, pick a style based on these suggestions.

CHICAGO (TURABIAN) STYLE. For the most part, Chicago (Turabian) Style works well as an all-encompassing style for all types of subject matter. The University of Chicago Press has created The Chicago Manual of Style, which provides the guidelines for citing sources and formatting papers. The 15th edition is the latest edition. Visit chicagomanualofstyle.org on the Web for more information. Kate Turabian, the dissertation secretary at the University of Chicago for 30 years, created A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, giving students and researchers additional guidelines. The sixth edition is the latest edition. The two styles are nearly identical, with only a few differences, and they’re often combined to represent one style, as we’ve done here. Non-scholarly publications also will make use of Chicago (Turabian) Style in magazines and newspapers.

APA STYLE. Subjects related to the social sciences, such as business, criminal justice, economics, law, and medical subjects, including nursing and psychology, work best with APA Style. The American Psychological Association created the APA Style, and you can visit apastyle.org on the Internet to find more information on APA Style. The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association is the full listing of APA Style guidelines and formatting rules.

II. THE DIFFERENCES

Quite a few formatting differences exist between Chicago (Turabian) Style and APA Style, including those listed here. Choose the style that will allow you to format your paper and deliver the information to your readers in the most efficient manner.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS. Most of the differences between Chicago (Turabian) and APA Styles involve in-text citations. Both styles include the last name of the author and a page number in parentheses for the in-text citation. APA Style also includes the year of publication of the source, but Chicago (Turabian) Style does not.

Chicago (Turabian) Style also allows the use of footnotes, rather than in-text citations, to cite your sources. With a footnote, you link the material that needs to be sourced with the source information, usually through superscript Arabic numerals. A footnote lists far more information about each source than does an in-text citation. Footnotes appear only on the page that contains the information that you need to cite. When using footnotes, you don’t necessarily have to include a bibliography, although most people use both.

An in-text citation, meanwhile, provides only a little basic information about the source. Readers use the in-text citation to find the full source information in the bibliography or reference list.

With Chicago (Turabian) Style, you may use either footnotes or in-text citations. APA Style only allows in-text citations.

PAGE NUMBERS. With both styles, the page number appears in the upper right corner of each page. With APA Style, you must include a running title to the left of the page number on each page. A running title is a two- or three-word summary of the title of your paper. With Chicago (Turabian) Style, you only list the page number. If a chapter heading appears on the page in Chicago (Turabian) Style, you should list the page number along the bottom of the page, instead of in the upper right corner.

REFERENCE LIST FORMATTING. With both styles, when listing each of your sources on the reference list page or in a bibliography, use the full last name of the author(s) in each entry. In APA Style, you also list only the initials of the first and middle name of each author. In Chicago (Turabian) Style, you spell out the entire first and middle name of each author. (The middle name information is optional.)

Question about writing an essay in MLA format?

I have to write a paper on Beowulf in MLA format. In the essay, we have to quote the book. Lets say I want to quote lines 900-903 on page 51. How would I do it?
Maybe I should clear things up. I want to know how to create an in-text citation. For example, if I wanted to quote page 10 of The Cat In The Hat, I would do this “The sky is blue” (10). I just need to know how to do that for a poem because somehow I need to include the lines that the quote was in.

author. title (underlined). place of publishing: publishing company, year of publish. page number.
So an example would look like…
Einstein, Albert. I like Math. Tampa Bay: Oxford UP, 1276. Pg. 900-903.
Make sure the title is undrlined though. Hope I helped!!!
