Source: Wikipedia
Digital cameras come in many sizes, colors, brands, zooms, resolutions, playbacks, etc. There are so many features and qualities that are being placed in the devices that buyers especially first timers become overwhelmed and dizzy with these outstanding arrays of gadgets. This is even without including the various advertisements and different ratings that are used to promote these products. (more…)
Be concise
Less definitely means more. When you are answering and email you don’t have to include the original message as well. The person that sent it to definitely has a copy of the message, and if you are planning to say just “so do I”, it really wouldn’t make sense.
Experts say any message of more than 100 lines is considered long and it will probably end up not read. Some companies are taxed for every second of internet connection, so they will not gladly accept messages that are too long.
Be careful with attachments
They are a great invention, but they should be used carefully. If you send a short message as attachment, you will certainly annoy the reader. He will open your email, wait for another program to open the attached document, and find out that you only wrote in the attachment that you will all meat at 20 at some restaurant. if an attachment is required, let the recipient know what it contains. Attachment with strange extensions can contain viruses.
Be careful when you send mail to multiple recipients
Before doing this, ask yourself if every person in your list really wants to find out details about how you spent your weekend. Recipients will get annoyed if the information is of no interest to them. It can even be considered spam if repeated many times.
And also, remember all the addresses you have in you address book before sending the email. Some years ago, an employee forgot the addresses in his address book and sent a message in which he critiqued the boss. The message got to the boss as well and, of course, the employee got fired.
Be careful how you write
Emails that are too familiar are not appreciated by everyone, and “john doe” emails are not appreciated at all. If you are not addressing a person you know, don’t use short phrases. you shouldn’t use the quite emoticons either, that might seem too forward. Then check your text to correct the misspellings. Emails with lots of mistakes don’t look to good and make a bad impression.
Formatting problems
Not all email programs are simple, so keep the simplest format possible. Maybe the recipient cannot see the green font and the flower send by you. Email is for communication, not a design exercise, so keep it simple.
Starting and finishing
Don’t start a message with at least a simple “Hello”. Lots of people jump right to the subject. It doesn’t have to be formal, just something polite. “Dear” or “hi” are very appropriate. At the end “Sincerely” might seem too formal so use “All the best” or “Yours truly”.
Find out as much as you can about the company you intent to work for. Try to document yourself about everything and a thing the job you are competing for can include, the products pr services the company offers. Knowing these things will make you feel more confident when you will be asked specific questions about the company.
Make sure you are carrying with you a copy of your résumé or CV, written in a professional manner, including all details that could be of interest for that specific company.
Look your interlocutor in the eyes, because this thing shows that you have confidence in yourself and that you are focusing on the subject. Show some enthusiasm towards the firm you are trying to work for.
Dress up as professional as possible. If the company style claims the wear of a suit, the wear that suit and look as presentable as possible because that is most important and it will make just the difference you need.
Try to answer the questions, in not more than 60 seconds. That doesn’t mean that you have to answer with simple yes and no, but long answers will make the interlocutor lose his interest. And you might also lose you concentration.
Listen carefully and answer to questions directly. If you did not understand a question, ask them to explain it better to you, do not answer unless you are sure what you have been asked.
Prepare to tell them what your past activities have been and the way you consider they can influence your carrier. Give some examples that ca end up leaving a good impression of you.
Ask questions. The questions you will ask show that you are proactive and that you want to make sure this place is indeed the right work place for you.
Send a “Thank You” note at no more than 2 days after the interview. Express your interest towards the job you are interested in and thank them for their time. Even if you end up not being interested in the job anymore, you can never know if that person can’t become a great contact person for you.
