Email etiquette, tips and tricks 

Email can take up to 28% of a person's workday. With so much of our communication moving online, it is important to make sure your message is coming across how you intended. Check out the tips and tricks below for more information. 
Proof Read: The occasional spelling or grammar mistake is unavoidable. But if your emails are always littered with them, it’s a problem. Proofread every email before sending, especially those longer ones. Most email providers have a built-in spellcheck. 
Format: ​
  • Subject line: describe what the email is about in a few words
  • Email greeting: Mention the recipient’s name and add a proper greeting
  • Body: Write the main message and one ask
  • Signature: Include your name, surname, company name, and sign-off
Professionalism: Keep shorthand and emoji's to a minimum, if at all. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and spell out the full words. Shorthand can work if it is someone you are close with or have experience emailing.

How to email a resume

Do you need to email a resume for a job? If so, follow these tips to make sure you're at the top of the list. ​
First things first: Always follow the employer’s instructions on how to submit your job materials. The job posting should give you detailed information on how you are expected to apply.
​Tip: Make sure you follow the employer’s instructions carefully, or your application may not even be considered.
​Clear Communication: Use a clear subject line that illustrates the purpose of the email. Try using the job position name and your name. "Warehouse Clerk-A.Scott"
If you attach your resume to your email, remember that your employer can see the name of the document. Make sure it's something professional and something that helps the reviewer.
