Interview+Questions+and+Answers

What kinds of writing do you do in you field/job? "I don't actually do much writing. Most commonly i will write memos, emails, and signature documents that verify that the fabric order placed had been produced and is ready to go to the shipping branch of our company."

Please tell me about the kind of writing you do on an average day? "Well, like i said before i usually just write memos, emails and sign my signature. I'm usually out and about all over the mill making sure everyone is doing their jobs making the fabrics. if i'm not there then i'm probably out with a client persuading them to continue buying the fabrics they need from us over a round of golf or lunch."

For what purposes do you write? "Again, I would write when i needed to communicate with someone through email. I also write memos for things that need done and i write my signature when needed."

For what audiences do you write? "I write emails for the clients i am in contact with or i talk directly with them on the phone or in person. I also write emails to other branches of the mill like to my best friend from work Laverne who runs the shipping and recieving branch. i like a direct conversation it helps in my position. I also write memos to my assistant who then spreads the word that maybe we need to increase what we are making because of the demand."

What do you get out of the writing you do? "The only thing i can think of that i get out of the writing i do is communication with others."

The interview was with my dad Brian Burke. He is the head of the Production branch for Sunbury Textile Industry. Their business produces and supplys all different places with fabrics for things like chairs. An example of the places that buy from the company is Disney. You can actually find Fabric on Disney cruise lines and hotels that were bought and made at the mill my dad runs.
