Netiquette IQ Blog Of 5/24/15 - Anatomy of a Job Seeker’s Great Email

============================================

Anatomy of a Job Seeker’s Great Email

During the first two to eight seconds of looking at an email, a reader decides if he or she has an interest in reading further. People initially look at/for
1.   Subject line
2.   Page layout
3.   Keywords
4.   Salutation (when quickly scanning the email)
5.   Qualifications (when quickly scanning the email)
6.   Signature (when quickly scanning the email)
7.   Viewing pane of the first sentence or two of the message (if available)
Let’s assume you’ve passed the first phase and want to know what comes next? In the following twenty to fifty-five seconds, the recruiter/hiring manager looks for
1.   Special qualifications
2.   Tone/politeness
3.   Readability
4.   Believability
5.   Clarity
6.   Whether you meet/exceed qualifications
7.   Weaknesses of any kind
8.   Possible contradictions in content
 You passed again? You are now in the elite percentage of job applicants applying by email. Your attachment (résumé or CV) is opened. Going by the consistent assumption that your email will reach this stage, consider whether your content does the following:
1.   Does your content  match your email description? Make sure your résumé or C.V. deliver accurate information.
2.   Do you include an easy means to contact you electronically or by voice?
Using the following matrix, you’ll know when it is time to follow up. Once you make contact and the correspondence has begun, make sure you continue to use good Netiquette! If interviews are scheduled, send any emails that follow using all of the best Netiquette principles.
