A report (CAE task) Dear All, Could you please share your thoughts about a piece of writing below? It is a report which I wrote in the scope of working on my writing skills. Sometimes I feel good about the results, but unfortunately, it is not the case now as I find it to be a bit artificial :( Therefore, any suggestions and criticism would be much appreciated. The topic is here: ____________________ You have just completed six months in a new job. In preparation for a progress meeting, you have been asked to write a report to your manager. Your report should explain what you feel you have achieved in the job so far, describe any problems you have had, and suggest any future training that would be suitable. ____________________ The purpose of this report is to outline the major accomplishments during the first six months of my working in the company. It also comprises the challenges which were posed during this period and puts forward suggestions about training and courses which may help to raise working effectiveness in future. Achievements The initial objectives which were set a half a year ago included: - meeting deadlines - at least four completed projects during the first year - high level of collaboration No deadline has been missed so far, and our team has already completed two projects. It means that we have enough time to achieve the goal of four projects by the end of the period. Talking about collaboration, I put a lot of effort to be a team player which resulted in friendly relationships with my colleagues. Therefore, I consider meeting the expectations to be my main achievement. Difficulties There were a couple of issues which I had to tackle during my first month. As a junior specialist, I lacked the working experience and found it hard to adapt to working conditions. Nevertheless, my colleagues helped me to cope with it, and I am glad to say that all the difficulties related to adaptation have been left behind. Possible improvements Taking into account that the company has a branch in Brazil, I firmly believe that attending Portuguese language courses can make my work much more effective as now I have to ask for help in case I need to communicate with Brazilian office. Conclusion To summarize it up, I would like to assure you that I am highly determined to hone my professional skills and met all the demands to be a valuable member of the team.
