Lisa has a lot of reading and
writing for her job. She is required to use the computer quite a
bit. Most communication is done online
these days. Lisa’s job has a range from
reading emails to writing leases that involve the computer. When she
started at RentSFNow she had to learn quickly what was appropriate and what
wasn't for writing emails. Emails are a huge part of current jobs
today. Emails have a tendency to be informal since they are just a quick
and easy way to communicate. However,
you must be careful with exactly how communication sounds because what could
seem perfectly fine may offend someone. Here is some basic etiquette
skills
for emails. Lisa must change the way she
writes depending on who it’s to. She
would address a coworker differently than her boss or prospective tenants.
Since emails are the easiest way
to communicate, many people find themselves writing emails with incorrect
punctuation and grammar. A good way to learn the appropriate etiquette of
an email is to look it up on the internet. Here is a good site for email
etiquette. A lot of people that blog for personal reasons can get caught
up on typing quickly and creating typos. This also happens with personal
emails. It’s good to keep up a habit of always
typing correctly.
Lisa gets a lot of emails from
people responding to her blog posts about certain apartment units. She told me that she has seem some very weird
emails that may discourage her from considering them as an applicant. Lisa also always has to make sure that she is
typing carefully and professionally when it comes to updating her blogs about
buildings and units. I wouldn’t take an
ad seriously if it had numerous amounts of typos!
The internet is evolving all of
our lifestyles and it is simple to get caught up in common mistakes that can
take place through email and blogging.
Just make sure you check up on yourself so it doesn’t become a habit!
Emailing is a very important tool in the business world. Writing these emails a real estate agent may use the business jargon they have become accustomed to. But steering clear of confusing your client is also very important. One confusing email and you can kiss that nice commission goodbye. So I agree it's very important to proof read all your work before sending it, even if its just an email.
ReplyDeleteBusiness people are always attached to their phones, because they are constantly getting emailed or phone calls. I think it is easy for us to make errors within sending an email. The reason for this is because we are so used to sending numerous emails daily to our friends and using short hand that we get caught up in that lingo. It is important like you stated to be professional and remember who your audience is, short hand is acceptable sometimes.
ReplyDeleteToday emailing seems like its one of the main activities in anyone's work field. I think that emailing has made most tasks much more efficient. The site in etiquette was very helpful and you are right on how important it is. Your post also got me to thinking about my typing skills and how I need to work on it during the winter break. ;)
