The Top Twelve E-Mail Mistakes That Can Sabotage Your Career

Lydia Ramsey suggests your e-mail is as much a part of your professional image as the clothes you wear, the postal letters you write (assuming you still do), the greeting on your voice mail and the handshake you offer. If you want to impress on every front and build positive business relationships, pay attention to your e-mail and steer clear of these top twelve       e-mail mistakes:

  1. Omitting The Subject Line.
  2. Not Making Your Subject Line Meaningful.
  3. Failing To Change The Header To Correspond With The Subject.
  4. Not Personalizing Your Message To The Recipient.
  5. Not Accounting For Tone.
  6. Forgetting To Check For Spelling And Grammar.
  7. Writing The Great American Novel.
  8. Forwarding E-Mail Without Permission.
  9. Thinking That No One Else Will Ever See Your E-Mail.
  10. Leaving Off Your Signature.
  11. Expecting An Instant Response.
  12. Completing The “To” Line First.

Hardest jobs for employers to fill

Even though the economic downturn has affected the unemployment rate in the United States, employers are still having a difficult time filling some positions. Forbes.com outlines skilled manual trades people, sales representatives, technicians (technical workers in the areas of production/operations, engineering and maintenance), engineers and management/executives to be the top five positions that employers are having most difficulty filling.

Manpower Inc. conducted an annual talent shortage survey of over 39,000 employers across the globe finding that 30% of them are having difficulty filling positions despite the economic downturn. Geography plays a significant role in this statistic because teachers, nurses, engineers and machinists are in short supply in one area, it might be tough to find a job in those professions elsewhere. (see full article).
