Part 6
Now about the drafting of the memorandum. During playback and annotation, it is interesting to prepare a memorandum on a separate sheet. The checklist is not necessarily useful for short event, but is often essential for longer if more than 4 hours. It will also be useful, even essential, when we want to establish a response plan later in the reading process, especially if this help is well structured. Here, we will focus on the drafting of the memorandum during long event. A first interesting element is that your checklist will help you to classify and categorize the information you hold the event. The separation of the checklist should be done according to the demands and problems to solve, and subtitles of these sections will be the most accurate elements on these issues / requests must be treated.
For example, the column headings of the checklist could be the analysis of the investment in a new machine, the funding available to the company and the discussion on the future expansion of the business. Each column of the checklist therefore includes an application or an important topic. Yet there are other ways to structure the checklist as separate its memorandum attached or year, for example. Your checklist should be adapted to the situation. During the drafting of the memorandum, shorten words is a good idea that will save you time. In the situation or the case would be in two parts, with a document filed before the simulation, the applicant has two choices. Either he uses the method described above, or it annotates the text in order to identify quickly and easily the information he wants to go for.
The last of the three major steps in the reading of a case is planning the response. After a detailed reading, annotations and possibly a reminder, it is important to take a moment to structure the development of the text. This is the time to prepare a response plan, which is essential for any length of cases. During the discussion, we must summarize and remember all of the information on applications present in the case. Since it is essential not to miss the or key demand of the customer, you have to be sure we meet the right thing. All ideas are not relevant to the case, we must select the best knowledge and develop with clarity. Problems or requests in the present case should be classified in order of importance.
Some subjects take longer and are more important at the correction and we must know them apart. We must give priority to more important matters, it is the professional judgment that you will get there. One can for example be classified into three categories, namely large, less important ones and those that are not very important.
In all cases, it is essential to include all the important topics and the majority of subjects of lesser importance. Since we are not in an ideal world, sometimes it is humanly impossible to treat all subjects by time limit. In these situations it is acceptable to drop some important issues for the benefit of topics of great importance. Indeed, a candidate who deals extensively with all major applications maximizes its chances of success if successful. Several criteria can be used when you want to determine the importance of a subject. Presumably the amount of money, the industry, the length of the text on this subject or situation over time (deadline) of the problem. Having sorted all the issues of the case by order of importance, we can now address the planning of writing. You can imagine, time management is still important here: we must divide his time to process all subjects. In time, it should also include time to write the presentation of the case and the recommendations. We can also reserve time for the review of the case, to recalculate or to be insured in case you forget.
For example, for a case of four, an example of distribution of time would be 60 minutes to play and plan, 2h30 for the main writing (applications, calculations, problems, issues), and 30 minutes from surplus for recommendations the presentation and review of the case. It is usually important to plan time for planning for the longer event. Indeed, writing the answer in the long case extends over long periods and many elements are treated.
