Be Precise
To be precise means to be accurate and careful about what you do or say. Your written work can never be excellent if it is filled with inaccurate information or typos. These may seem like little mistakes, but little mistake can create major problems, especially if the work you do is going to affect the decision of others. In the same way that you have to be informed when you make decisions, you have to make sure that the information you provide to others is accurate .If your work is not precise, you will be responsible for any problems that arise.
The power of the presentation Since you are responsible for your work, that work is a reflection of you. If your work is sloppy, it reflects badly on you. You would not walk into a job interview in jeans and a ripped shirt, because how you present yourself matters. If you look sloppy, people will think your work will be sloppy. You want to build a reputation for excellence so your colleagues will come to you when they want a job done right. You can build this reputation by being precise in everything you do.
Content and Presentation
When it comes to written work, you should pay attention to details in two areas: content and presentation. Content is the information or ideas in the text. Presentation is how the work and its contents are presented or shown.
Proofreading
When you proofread, you thoroughly(carefully) examine you work to ensure that you do not overlook details that will affect presentation. When you proofread, you are looking at three specific things:
Ø Well organized information
Ø Correct spelling, grammar and vocabulary
Ø Polished work
Going the extra mile
When we are precise,we are accurate and get things right the first time.However,all people make mistakes. Being thorough and paying attention to details will help you catch mistakes and correct them before you turn in your work.However, if you find a mistake after you hand in your work, you need to go the extra mile to correct it before it causes problems. Mistakes get worse the longer they are left uncorrected.
