have you ever felt that every single situation that you have gone through has made the person you are today?
like the sales job that you hated so much which made you lost your hair and only stayed for two months?
or the customer service job (which you took up
for four months) that caused you to cry on at least two occasions?
have you?
for some reason,
i feel it now.
just a musing.
the sales/ customer service job has helped me a lot in dealing with emails.
it looked small but communication is always the key in the corporate world.
yes, qualifications are
important but we work with people too.
good communication skill (whether on paper or verbally) makes a difference.
tip:
always try to ask how the other person is doing in an email and end it with thank you.
it actually creates a better atmosphere.
with us communicating using the computer, online etiquette is becoming more and more important.
if we want to email people about asking for jobs, pay attention to the header.
i've heard so many complaints
on people applying for jobs without any manners.
start the heading with 'Application for..'. In the email body, say hi, introduce ourselves and tell them what we are applying for before proceeding to inform we have attached our cover letter and resume.
it sounds
trivial but believe it or not, these are the things that most applicants forget or think not important.
Those people working in HR are people too.
it will be such a nice change to have someone email them and ask for their wellbeing once in a while, don't you think so?
chop chop!
it's Friday.
are you ready for the long weekend?
