Hi,

I will record all wrong documents in the wrong document / documents report.

This sounds like something you will do in the future. Don't say it this way if you are listing your current duties in your resume. This was already explained to you in another thread, I think.



Also, avoid repetition and excessve detail.

I'd just say

I found "incorrect documents" a strange expression and not very descriptive of what you actually mean. I can't imagine a real life example of a company that would record "incorrect documents." Could you explain further what you mean by that? I think there would be a better term in U.S. and probably also in British English for that category.

Hi,

I suggest

- Record all documents sent to us in error

If you are the one who sends them back, you might say 'handle' or 'manage' instead of just 'record'.



Note that 'staff' is a collective word that refers to all the employees,

eg the bank has a staff of 10 people.

You can't say 'a staff' to mean 'a person'.

You are the person at the company who decides what documents get sent back.

The postman is just doing his job in carrying whatever mail is given to him and putting it in the system so that it is transported to the address specified.

So, for that reason, you are the person who sends back the documents, because you are the one making decisions on what gets sent back. The postman
