Assignment Task 2

Contractual
a contract is a document that you are made to sign to make everything official with the law or agreement for example when money is involved and there is no or little trust between the parties. However if one party breaks the contract, you could face legal action.

This is an example of what a contract looks like 

Negotiated

Is up to the employee to discuss what they want and when to do it in the contract. The client may want to negotiate a better deal to suit their lifestyle e.g when they go to bed.

Formal

Formal is when a written document is involved which goes over the service that an employee is contracted to do,The contract will be written in a formal language to look more professional and will not be written in slang. On the document it may include the clients logo to make things look more official.

Informal

Informal means that it does not have to be written so the contact could all be verbal, Informal contracts often occur when little money is involved and writing a formal document would be too time consuming, An informal contract will mostly be found between long partnerships as they already have a relationship with one another.

Commission

Commission Will only occur when the company and the client know each other and have a mutual bond and long partnership, also when the company knows that they want you to complete the job that they have set out for you to do.

Competition

When a promotional competition is available to the public, the winner would typically get the other companies products at a slightly cheaper value or the contractual job. The winners will be the only one who gets rewarded

Tender
Tender is similar to the competition brief but will allow a company to do a pitch. however not like competition when there is only one winner many different companies are competing for the same job.

Co-operative Brief

When two or more companies work together to complete a job, this could be for different reasons to make the job be done quicker or one company does not have the resources available so it needs another company to help out. 

Reading a Brief
When reading a brief make sure to pay attention to the final date to make sure you will have enough time to finish the job, the time scale, to plan your work effectively and what is required, as your company may not have the resources to complete the job properly and to the highest standard of what they would like to be.

Negotiating The Brief

All briefs are negotiable to a certain extent for example you can ask to extend the deadline but not months as this would be unreasonable, also you should ensure you read the brief properly so you can negotiate the finer specifications in detail to maybe ask for more money or to ask for more people in your work force.

Opportunities 
Opportunities that you have learnt from the job and could add to your CV:

• New skills that you have not learnt yet

• Multi skilling 
• Gain contacts to do more jobs in the future or to go work for in the future as well
• Experience to add to your CV and your own knowledge 
• Travel to new places from your brief and learn about their culture
