[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 50027, member: 1572"] Hi Holly, You've already identified some great things! I think the answer to this will probably be very different for each person but some additional things I would personally do: [LIST] [*]Break down the task I've been given and decide which areas I would need to focus on more thoroughly because of gaps in my own knowledge. [*]Set strict deadlines for myself as to when I would like to get the first/second draft of the document finished by. This will then give me more time to go back to the work and check for any missing elements (this ties into your proofreading point quite nicely I think) [*]Take time to reflect on any amendments/comments that have been made on previous work (similar or otherwise) that I have completed and ensure those errors are not repeated. [/LIST] I would also caution against the having someone else check over it point, just because as a trainee I think you'll find yourself in many situations where people are either too busy to do that or you're simply expected to take full ownership of the task. Hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
