your site is very nice. I liked article Very few people know that employers can filter emails based on them. Like a good topic might help to stay in your email inbox for some time before removal.

To create an email with name and surname is a cool thing to say.

Hi Srdhar ,
Really a good post.
let me add some points:
1)Always be precise and concise in your message.
2)If gthe mail body is too long.then apply number or else document it and attch to a mail and highlight main points in the body of the mail.
3)always mention specific date when ever required and aviod words like, “tomorrorw”,”day after tomo”,”this thursday” etc..
4)If are facing any problem and you want to convey the message be through and convey the message to receiver always mention the options you have to resolve the issue and request for their guidance.
5)Use polite or positive words.
6)never user Upper case words like”HELLO”…..keep it simple like “Hello”

This post is so spot on! I cannot tell you how many times we’ve just deleted an application based on the “chat lingo” in their cover letters. Youngsters today need to up their ante and get serious about becoming or at least acting like a professional.

Excellent post! This should help some misguided students for sure

Love your aversion to funky email addresses. That’s so true. It maybe cute and funny to the young set, but it’s the pits in a professional setting. Very inappropriate. Are you nuts!

Likewise for bringing SMS lingo into the email form. Very juvenile. There’s no limitation as to the number of words in email so why mangle the language at all!

Great list of helpful reminders.

I liked your article. Very few people know that recruiters filter their emails based on the subject. So a good subject would help your email to stay in their inbox for a while before they delete it.

Creating an email with first and last name is a cool thing to mention about.
