Verbal Communication Reflection

The types of written communications that I use in my personal life are generally very informal. I use e-mail, text, social networking, and instant messaging on a regular basis. I do my best to be accurate in both spelling and grammar on either medium because it helps me practice for more formal writing. The only formal writing that I am currently doing in my personal life would include my resume and cover letters for jobs that I am applying to. I use Word so that I can easily adjust the format of each letter and take advantage of the spelling and grammar check. I expect that I will get more practice with writing business letters after I am ready to enter the job market full time and I start my career. That is why I try to use my informal communication through social networking and email as a tool to practice using correct grammar and spelling so that I will be able to be successful with these skills in the future.
