What's an outline? (for a newbe at work).?

Question

I'm an intern, and requested to do a project work-related, on top of everything eles. But first, I must enter an outline on it, which I have no clue what it is, whether that be because I haven't learned about them yet or because they called them something eles. I caught the jist, that outlines are to "outline" the project, just how I don't know.

Answer 1

To outline means to give a rough overview, some main points and boarder lines - actually to limit the project you want to do.



So the person you present this will know what is included in your project and what's not part of the project.

Answer 2

well first you have to brainstorm



remember brainstorming from school?

Then narrow down the best ideas for your project. Then organize and elaborate on those points. A typical outline goes like this.





Project X for Company Y



Intro-why you are doing the project, what is the point of it. Three things you think are important, list them here.



I. topic one - blahblahblahablhalha

a. Subpoint or relating thought

b. Second subpoint

II. topic two - blahblahblahblahblah



III. topic three - bhalbhahlbhalbhalbh



Conclusion- This is blhablhablhablhalbh





get it? hope this helps.

Answer 3

You're an intern? Well then you must have taken English 101. An outline is a summary of what you are about to do, or write. Bullet points would be the easiest way.

Answer 4

Do you spell this badly and have such poor grammer in the documents you create for work?



Outlining is something you learn to do in elementary school.



Interns are usually college-educated young people who are given an opportunity to work in the summer at real businesses to get experience.



Thus, I am puzzled as to how you don't know what outlining is. Is this question a joke?

Answer 5

Ask the people where you work to provide a sample of a previous outline so that you can model your outline to the company's particular specifications. Asking on the job is a good thing.

Answer 6

Have you never written an outline for a paper or anything? Its just the main points of what needs to be said in the paper/report. Don't be afraid to ask for help better to get help than to be wrong and get in trouble

Answer 7

Are you new to school too? An outline for crying out loud.

List the main bullet points with some minor points beneath them.
