Document communication is something we encounter every day, but it is often a difficult process for both new employees and those with considerable experience.
I search for various materials, put them together, and send them after much thought, but I often end up receiving comments asking for corrections.
However, there is no one at the company who teaches you how to create good documents, and there are many times when you feel anxious about what to do when the deadline approaches.

* Praise comments from students who took the author's report class

I think I'll be able to reduce a lot of trial and error when creating reports now.
I didn't know if it was a good report or a bad report, so I just used what looked good. Thank you for kindly explaining the concept.
I only had a vague idea of ​​how to send emails and messengers, but I think I've finally fixed my mistakes. - S*

It feels like I'm learning step by step from a skilled shooter.
A class that clearly explains to-do and not-to-do! - Ma*

I'm currently a team leader, and there are many useful tips that I hope my subordinates will see. I'm studying them while receiving sympathy and comfort.
Even from the perspective of reporting to the Managing Director and CEO, there are many key and concise things to learn.
- An*hee

I had a hard time understanding and grasping the key points of the orders my boss gave me, but I received a lot of help with this.
I was able to figure out why my report was rejected and what was wrong with my previous report.
I think it will be very helpful for future document writing since I have a good grasp of the big picture of the document writing process.
- This*eul

I recently re-entered the workforce after a long career break, and since I didn't have to write many reports at my previous job, I was under a lot of stress from writing recent reports when I decided to take this class.
This seems like a great course for people like me who don't have much experience writing reports or are just starting out in society! - An*seon

I feel ashamed of my past, when my boss gave me a task, I would just jump into it without thinking deeply about why he gave me that task.
Now, I'm going to start by understanding the requester's intentions, just like you suggested! I wish I had had a mentor like you when I first joined the company.
- west*

I started working late, so I was always frustrated when I was told to rewrite reports. I didn't know what to do or how to rewrite them, so I was frustrated. But after taking this class, I knew exactly what was wrong!
Since the tutor has been working as a practitioner for a long time, the tips he gives from his experience really resonate with me.
- Ash*

People who are good at their jobs clearly point out what makes them different.
I really hated the reporting system that went back and forth uselessly, and to some extent, the reason was because of me..ㅎ To exaggerate a little, I think my work life can be divided into before and after taking this lecture.
