Acronym use in essay

by irina Wed Oct 24, 2012 5:23 pm

Hi,

I'm writing my goals essay and would like to talk about going into the Consumer Packaged Goods industry. Would it be appropriate to use the CPG acronym in the essay? (after I write out the 3 words once in the beginning)

Thank you!

Yes this is totally fine. You only need to write it out once, then use the abbreviation. For example:

... Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)...

... CPG...

Thanks,
Mili
