Dear Ms. Blankenship,
I enjoyed speaking with you about a fitness instructor position at In-Shape Fitness Center. I would like to offer you a full-time position beginning in March. Currently, we offer aerobics, yoga, and cycling classes. Since your specialty is pilates, we want to feature some new pilates classes taught by you in the spring.
I would also like to see if you would be interested in substitute-teaching in the meantime to fill in for our yoga instructor who is scheduled to be on vacation in February. This will help you familiarize yourself with our facility before your classes begin in March.
I am looking forward to working with you. We feel that your teaching experience will be a valuable addition to our center. Please contact me at 387-423-7769 by the end of January so that we can set up a time to finalize your paperwork and make your spring class schedule.
Sincerely,
Julie Hawthorne
Director
In David Tanner’s book, Office Etiquette Do’s and Don’ts, Tanner offers great advice on how individuals can avoid conflicts in the workplace by following some simple guidelines. — [1] —. Mr. Tanner argues that many employees have their bleak future and eliminate themselves from considerations for their promotion because of their inability to manage their office behavior effectively.
For instance, whenever you have issues in the workplace, you’re better off thinking through your words before you voice complaints, thoughts, or suggestions. Assess the situation carefully. — [2] —. If the gains outweigh the losses, proceed in a professional and polite manner. In the instance, you do find yourself in a workplace conflict, be sure to protect yourself with thorough documentation. — [3] —. A smart employee will document issues that relate to self-preservation and protection of job security.
Mr. Tanner is a workplace psychologist and bestselling author who has won numerous awards for his research and writings on workplace issues. — [4] —. Two of his earlier books have sold more than one million copies worldwide. Office Etiquette Do’s and Don’ts has already sold 20,000 copies since being released by Bramberton Press only five months ago. It is available in bookstores and on the company’s website, www. brambertonpress.com.
