Problem: Article: Make sure you are clear on who the audience is. Consider if they have a knowledge base or are starting completely fresh. This will give you an idea of how broad or specific you need to be throughout the manual. When it makes sense, write directly to the audience saying, "When you get to this step" rather than something like, "When a person gets to this step." If you are training employees on a brand new software that no one has seen, it's safe to assume they won't know anything. If you are training for sales techniques at a clothing store, you don't need to explain what pants and shirts are. Don't patronize people by over explaining simple concepts, but also don't assume they know something that they may not know. Not everyone can learn by reading 20 pages of text, so include ways for users to apply what they read and get hands on experience. Give a scenario and ask the reader to solve a problem of some kind. Allow for discussion and collaboration among trainees. You want to cater to different learning styles so the manual is useful for as many people as possible. You can't fit every employee perfectly, but if you only use one approach you aren't likely to get through to very many at all. The goal of the training manual is to help employees learn what they need to know, so aim to make it easy for as many people as possible. If you are writing a printed manual, consider whether or not you can give trainees access to extra materials, such as videos or audio recordings. For learners who would struggle to read an entire manual, you can work to ensure they still learn what they need to. Many times the written manual will be the primary training tool, but a few extras may make a big difference. This may be affected by the type of content your manual includes and may not be applicable in all cases. Take stock of the specifics of your manual and judge whether or not extra materials could be created.
Summary: Write for and to your audience. Include problem-solving scenarios and discussion topics. Enhance the manual with videos or audio recordings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remove 2 frozen salmon fillets from their packaging and rinse them under the tap just until pieces of ice melt off. Use a paper towel to pat the moisture off of the fillets. Then, melt 1 tablespoon (15ml) of butter into a small dish and dip a pastry brush into it. Brush each side of the salmon with the butter. If you prefer to use a different cooking fat, you could use regular olive (also called light), canola, or coconut oil. Wear oven mitts to peel the sheet of aluminum foil off of the dish and ensure that the escaping steam doesn't burn you. Roast the uncovered salmon until it reaches 145F (63C) with an instant-read thermometer. If your fillets are thin [under 1 inch (2.5cm)], check them after 20 minutes. Wait until closer to 25 minutes if the fillets are over 112 inches (3.8cm) thick. Set the baking dish on a rack and leave the fish to rest. The fillets will finish cooking and will reabsorb some of the liquid. Then, transfer the fillets to plates and serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a garden salad. Refrigerate leftover salmon in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 425F (218C) and rinse 2 salmon fillets under cold water. Pat the salmon dry and brush each side with melted butter. Uncover the salmon and bake it for another 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the salmon and rest it for 3 minutes before serving.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Think deeply about why you want this job. What true statement can you make about why you think this is the right place for you to work, and why the company should hire you? Authenticity is key when it comes to helping your cover letter stand out from everyone else's. There's no need to get too personal or emotional, but a heartfelt line about why you're right for the job is appropriate. Saying something like "The chance to join your office would be a tremendous opportunity" isn't going to hurt your chances. What information from your cover letter most qualifies you for the job? The final paragraph is your last chance to proclaim how perfect your skills are for the company to which you're applying. Don't just repeat the same information, though. Be a bit more specific about the experience or qualifications that make you right for the role. You might refer to the mission of the company. This is a good strategy because it demonstrates you understand what the company does and that you want to be a part of the organization. Referencing the company's outstanding reputation does not hurt your changes either. Some people also take a risk and add some flair to their cover letter ending. If you're going to crack a joke or use colorful language, you stand the chance of turning off the potential employer. But on the other hand, being funny might be just the ticket. No matter what, make sure your cover letter's ending matches the overall tone of your cover letter. The conclusion is your opportunity to repeat your excitement about the job and your ability to do the job well. For example, you might write: "I am very excited about the opportunity to make an immediate and valuable contribution to your company." Remind the employer how your skillset will transfer to the company and be put to use. What will you bring to the company? Focus on how the company will improve by hiring you, rather than how you will benefit. For example, you might write: "My professional skills in marketing, coupled with my passion for your products, will enable me to help grow the business segment." Your application may require that you send a resume, writing samples, or other materials with your cover letter. Mention that you are enclosing them in the envelope or attaching them to the email you're sending. "My resume is enclosed" or "I am enclosing my resume" are both fine ways of putting it. If you are including recommendation letters that will be sent separately by your references, you might write: "Recommendation letters from Dr. Patricia Smith and Dr. Joseph Johnson will arrive under separate cover." Most applicants don't explicitly state that they would like an interview for a job. But some experts think that you're more likely to get an interview if you ask for one. For example, you can write: "Please call me at (your phone number) to schedule an interview at your earliest convenience." Depending upon the contact information you have for the company, write that you will follow up next week with a phone call or email to ensure your application was received. Tell the employer that you can also answer any preliminary questions at that time. Include this kind of action that you'll be taking in order to demonstrate initiative. This will also help move your application forward. For example, write: "I will follow up my application with a phone call next week." It is very important that you follow through on the promise you make in your cover letter. If you say you're going to follow up on your application, do so. It is also important to note if a company requests no phone call inquiries. If this is the case, email instead. Always thank the reader for her time and consideration. It shows that you are polite and respectful of her time, something of great value in a busy work environment.
Summary:
Get a little more personal. Consider including a highlight or two from the previous paragraphs. Demonstrate your enthusiasm and confidence. Reiterate how you will contribute to the company. Mention any enclosures. Ask for an interview. Outline the next step. Thank the employer.
