FIVE IMPORTANCE OF SHORTHAND 1. Writing in shorthand is quicker than longhand. Anything that saves time, money and energy is always a bonus. You will become more efficient in taking notes at meetings, lectures and interviews. 2. Shorthand is the only system that can accurately record speech without the use of any electronic recording devices. Think about that for a second. Without computers, shorthand is the only way in the world to write down exactly what somebody is saying without asking them to slow down. 3. International students from India already have excellent English skills so writing in shorthand is ideal for them as it will take their writing and speaking to another level, way beyond English native speakers. India is a competitive jobs market, too, and extra skills like shorthand will improve prospects. 4. Employees with shorthand are chosen for assignments ahead of those that don’t. That’s right, when the news editor is looking for someone to head out to court or do a great interview, those who can write in shorthand will be chosen first, while the others will be left in the office re-writing wire copy. 5. In journalism interviewees will not be able to see what’s being written about them. When you’re standing next to somebody in the street making notes about what they’re saying, they love to gawp at the notepad. Shorthand allows you to highlight key quotes, without them looking at it and thinking twice before saying ‘no, don’t put that I said that… actually I don’t want my name in the paper.’ Proteck Computer Typing & Shorthand Institute "Banshankari", S.No.5, Opp.Lane of Amruteshwar Ganesh Mandir, Mayureshwar Colony, Keshavnagar, Mundhwa, Pune-411036 For more info visit: www.proteckcomputers.net Mob:7276111255/7030047444
