How to Impress With Your Email<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re in the workforce, you probably know by now that almost all communication is done via email.<\/p>\n

Scheduling interviews, scheduling meetings, communicating with basically everyone at work and reaching out to clients is almost exclusively done through email.<\/p>\n

With that being said, you need to make sure that you know how to use your email like a pro so that you impress those around you, and make solid first impressions.<\/p>\n

Have a Professional Email Address<\/h2>\n

If your current email is something like DancerBaby420@RocketMail or LebronJamesFan5Ever@DooberMail, it might be time for a change. Sure, these emails were fun when you were in high school, but now that you\u2019re older you should consider making a new one. Keep your old one on hand in case you have it tied to other things like your social media accounts or your Netflix account. DanceBaby420 doesn\u2019t need to stop the dance altogether.<\/p>\n

Most professional emails use a mix of a person\u2019s first name and last name. Also, you should use a respectable email provider like Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail instead. Other email providers can come off as unprofessional, or look like spam. If you don\u2019t use a professional email provider, people may avoid looking at your emails altogether.<\/p>\n

Write Good Subject Lines<\/h2>\n

Yeah, it can be hard to come up with a decent subject line that gets your recipient\u2019s attention. You\u2019ve probably had a difficult time coming up with them yourself.<\/p>\n

To come up with a decent subject line, think about the subject lines that you avoid. You probably avoid subject lines that look like spam. Things like \u201cLose 100 pounds in two days!\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m a Nigerian prince and I want to bequeath my billions to you!\u201d are obvious spam, but you can see the things the scammers do to get attention. They use flashy language to capture your attention. Even though the claims are obviously fake, you still read them all the way through!<\/p>\n

The most common piece of advice you are probably going to get is to be short and concise. So, for every email, make sure that your subject lines are short, concise and grab attention.<\/p>\n
