Email Etiquette: How to Communicate When You Really Want the Job!

5 Essential Communication Tips for Job Seekers!

👉Before you email the Recruiter or Hiring Manager that you didn't receive the information about the interview, check your spam! You certainly don't look like a resourceful problem solver or great communicator if you send them an email, "I didn't receive..." when the problem was on YOUR side, and not theirs.

👉Always use "Please", "Thank you", "Appreciate", "Good Morning", "Have a lovely afternoon" phrases. Kindness is ALWAYS the best policy. Showcase your best self, and if that's not part of your current BRANDING, there's no better time than today to adopt that practice.

👉Don't drop the ball on responses. If you asked a question, check your emails regularly and reply in a timely manner. It shouldn’t take hours for YOU to get back to them. Especially if you are asking something of them. Remember, you are demonstrating your BRAND, organization and communication skills.

👉Send a thank you email. Always. Make if meaningful and point out something you connected on during the interview. Help them to remember how totally awesome you are. (After all, Recruiters interview a lot of people.)

👉When following up, here's your script, " As you can imagine, I am excited about joining XYZ Company as your next ... Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide that will help with the decision making process. I look forward to hearing from you about next steps." You can include information about the immediate value you will provide.
