Social writing vs Business writing

As we all know, having a good writing skill is necessary in today’s world. It is very important for your professional and personal life. Good writing skill leads to good communication within and outside the business.

According to Kate Brodock, the social media writing is “Content, primarily in written format, that is designed to be optimal for social sharing.”

The goal of business writing is to transmit information to a reader, so clear language is necessary to help a reader understand information easily, says Cullen, adding, "Writing clearly is one of the harder aspects of business writing."

Brant W. Knapp, in his book, "A Project Manager's Guide to Passing the Project Management Exam," notes that,

"The main aim of business writing is that it should be understood clearly when read quickly. The message should be well planned, simple, clear, and direct." 

People’s intellect and their talent are often judged by their writing skills. Having a good writing skill is very essential for the success of any individual’s career. Often the letter sent by you will be the first point of contact in many business communications like sending an job application. If you can create a good job application letter, you can create a good first impression. Even after you enter in to a job, you will have to send a lot of letters throughout your career within the business and outside your business. People who mold a good letter with appropriate words create a good impression on the reader and often are respected.
