Can anyone please share how they would approach the
content of a Written Communication when they have little
to no knowledge/ability to answer the question. In a
situation where a candidate does not have enough time
(his/her time management was deficient) or does not know
the subject matter well enough, what do you think the
candidate should do?
It would be easy to respond in a memo and say " I
understand that you are considering
switching to a JIT System...... Unfortunately I am out of
office for the next two weeks. ... or ... Unfortunately,
I am unable to answer your question accurately, I suggest
going to Google.. etc.." but I doubt that will work.
I know the basic structure recommendations, but what
content do you recommend beyond the structure when the
candidate is at a loss for any keywords related to the
topic?
Any ideas/suggestions?

I would say read the question and add in the questions keep points into the answer. For example, One of my Topics was to send a letter to congress, When I saw it, I was like I would never do that in real life and it caught me off guard. All I did was just include what they asked for, What I would do in the situation, and the conclusion (which is a recap of your essay). Like most tell you, they do not care about accuracy, they only care if you can write. Try to your best and hope for the best. Good Luck!

I would approach it like this: a) content: read the
question carefully know to whom the response is intended
(layman or professional) and with our general knowledge
of business environment, jot down points on the scrap
paper and prepare the sentences from these points. For
argument type questions, include both sides and say why
you prefer x and not y; b) style: if you address the
board or shareholders, do not make the content
jargonistic but state in a way a layman can understand;
if you are addressing another auditor or professional
association etc., use terms etc which the profession
understands. The content must show that we know what we
are writing about; the style must show that we know who
we are addressing. Use proper grammar and standard office
communication language and avoid unrecognized
abbreviations, colloquialism etc.
