Rasmussen College Face to Face Communication Reflection

For this assignment, think back of a time where you think you used the wrong channel to convey a message to someone in your life. Examples could be sending a text message to break up with someone, or emailing a boss when in both situations you should have talked to them face to face.

In a 2-page paper, written using appropriate spelling/grammar, address the items below. Remember to be descriptive, and use as much detail in your examples as possible.

1. Describe the relationship you have/had with the person in the interaction.
2. Explain which channel you used initially and why you think it was the wrong means to communicate with them.
3. Explain which channel would have been better for the situation and why you think it would have been more effective.

My supervisor and I had a personal and professional relationship. I wanted to resign from my job as a correctional officer, but my supervisor kept avoiding me, therefore I emailed her my resignation letter instead of talking with her face to face. It would have been better if I had waited for my supervisor to get back with me, but I was impatient.
