I liked today's lecture. It is definitely a useful topic to know considering how many emails I send to my professors and my volunteer coordinators. I'll definitely turn up my professionalism when I email from now on.
MC gave a great presentation today! Lots of useful skills I can apply here in University and later on in my career. MC made a topic that you would assume to be boring interesting and entertaining!
Professional e-mails is a wonderful skill for me to practice since I send e-mails to professors and potential employers very often. I loved MC's presentations of key points to include and what not to include, as well as the poor email examples! I also enjoyed the practice opportunity in lab this week, it's wonderful to get feedback on an e-mail before I have to actually send it.
Today's lecture was very applicable up and coming. I am starting to look for work experience and volunteer experience. Now that I am know how to write a professional email, I can be sure I am leaving a good first impression and hopefully get a reply back! I think more employers and even some professors need to hear and see this lecture. People tend to forget about the little things when it comes to emailing. I think etiquette in the virtual world is lost at times. Maybe because people switch from emailing family and friends, to work associates but their brain doesn't switch modes!
Very helpful tips and advice! I love learning new things when I can apply it to a real-life scenario and this is going to come in handy for emailing about job prospects, volunteer opportunities, and in general to produce a professional letter. Sometimes if you have not met the person you are emailing, it is crucial to present yourself well over email. I can't believe in the examples people would use abbreviations and emoticons! I agree with the above comment; altering the way we speak can be difficult if it isn't a regular motion.
Practice makes perfect when it comes to emailing. Being professional is important, so trying to be as professional and politically correct whenever possible is always good practice. It sounds silly to have another person read over important emails but it is a nice option to make sure your emails are on point. I really enjoy MC's presentations because she is very relatable however she gets her points across. Thank you MC
Even though it seems quite "common sense" to be professional when writing an email, I can definitely see how individuals can get side tracked and try to be "cool". This was a great presentation and a great reminder to stay professional no matter who you're talking to!
