As our economy becomes more globalized, we rely heavily on technology for communication purposes with employers, colleagues, clients, and prospective employers. But, before you hit send, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:
1. The computer is the property of your employer, including your email correspondence and Internet usage.
2. Many employers solicit resumes online through various job seeker websites. If you are applying for a job online, select an appropriate username. That is, do not use a cute username or a suggestive username. Doing so will reduce your chances for an interview.
3. WHEN YOU USE ALL CAPS, THE READER PERCEIVES THIS AS SHOUTING!
4. Always use the spellcheck feature.
5. Just the facts, ma'am. Avoid lengthy emails but also do not leave out important information.
