Article: Tips for Effective E-mail Writing (Whitesmoke Tip of the Da

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Hello there,

I would like to thank you all once more for all the beautiful e-mails you
keep sending me.

While we are on the topic, let me introduce you to today's topic. Tips for
Effective E-mail Writing.

Who doesn't use e-mail these days?

Electronic mail is an integral part of the 21st century communication.

Believe it or not, the average office worker receives 60-200 e-mail messages
per day, and it is estimated that over 7 trillion e-mails were sent last
year!

Between this high volume of e-mail communication and the faster pace we work
at these days, it's worthwhile to learn how to have effective e-mail
communication.

For successful e-mail writing, consider following the guidelines in the list
below.

These tips are suitable for all types of effective e-mail writing, including
effective e-mail marketing:

1) Send brief, clear messages. No one has the time or energy to scroll
through and read a dozen pages. The shorter the e-mail you write, the
higher the chance it will be read, so your message will get across. Using
bulleted points is an efficient way of presenting information.

2) Send multiple messages for more than a few topics. If you have many
topics to address through e-mail communication, send each one in a separate
message. This will ensure that the recipients will read your messages.
Also, you'll get faster responses that you can more easily keep track of;
instead of searching through massive e-mails for buried information, find
the details quickly in the shorter, more organized messages you'll have.

3) Include relevant information from past e-mails. Because we read so
many e-mails each day, it's hard to remember all of the details. When you
are responding to communication, an effective e-mail will contain relevant
details from previous messages so the reader can quickly recall what's
important.

4) Write specific subject line descriptions. Let your readers know
exactly what they're about to see by including accurate, concise information
in the subject line. Receiving and reading e-mails shouldn't be a guessing
game!

5) Don't use abbr. in ur biz msgs (=Don't use abbreviations in your
business messages). Sometimes it takes longer to decode abbreviations in
your business messages than it does to read the whole words. Save your
readers time by writing out what you need to say.

6) Proofread your e-mail messages before you send them. Don't risk your
readers misunderstanding your important messages.

Hope you find these tips useful when writing e-mails.

Article: Honesty On Your Resume (FindThePerfectJob)

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Wed Feb 3, 2010 9:34 am (PST)



HONESTY ON YOUR RESUME

Those who have been out of work several months, or are working outside their
area of expertise in order to make ends meet, tend to want to hide that on
their resume. They're worried it will reflect poorly on them and adversely
affect their chances of getting an interview.

Actually, the opposite is true, because unexplained resume blanks cause
question marks. These career aberrations need to be accounted for. Human
nature defaults to the negative. We look for problems in order to avoid
them. Holes in the resume cause questions which equal problems.

Whether or not your odd jobs or unemployment compromise your interview
possibilities depends on what you were doing, why you were doing it, and
especially how you spin it, both in the cover letter and in the interview.

Why, if you've held a job outside your norm, should you be faulted for
"doing what it takes" to feed yourself and your family? Stepping outside of
your career track shows a positive attitude, a way of thinking, and of
solving a problem. It's also the attitude and behavior you'll bring to a
company, as opposed to a person who does nothing, worrying and whining all
the while. Additionally, there's the experience in both life and people that
are now part of who you are.

One of my clients was in the finance industry, and decided to go to school
full time to get her Master's in Divinity. She wasn't planning on pursuing a
career in that area; it was just something she wanted to do. And then she
went back into finance. How to spin that? Focus. A love of learning. But she
feared the nature of the degree would make people uncomfortable, yet that
was the easiest part, because by nature, she was serene, even keeled, and
considerate of others. She hit the proselytizing fear head on, and learned
her schooling was a matter of interest, not concern.

Another individual was out of work for two years with a serious illness and
wasn't sure he should list that. Absolutely he should. This is life. Stuff
happens. It doesn't need to be listed as anything other than "Illness
preventing employment," and presented on the resume just as a company
heading would be.

A strange, but brief, change of direction in a career is frequently a result
of someone internally examining their direction in life. Be open about that.
"I wasn't sure I wanted to continue the path I was pursuing, so I went in a
direction that seemed viable. What I learned was that I didn't like it as
much as I thought, and for these reasons, I really do like what I'm doing."
And then know those reasons to assure a potential employer you won't be
slacking or leaving the company to take off in some new direction.

Unfortunately almost everyone misses the opportunity to use their cover
letter to both inform and introduce these experiences. This is one reason
generic cover letters are a mistake. Another reason is that they fail to
address the specifics of what the company wants. They're the easy way out,
spotted at a glance, never read, yet perpetuated by professional resume
writers.

Write a custom one, use the exact words from the ad, lead into examples from
your career, and use the last paragraph to put a brief, but positive spin,
on the section you feel is questionable. Now you're quelling objections
before they arise, eliminating questions, and solving problems.

It's not about whether you're honest; it's about how you spin the honesty. I
don't mean "spin" as altering the truth, because honesty is paramount. Be
who you are. Be comfortable and straight forward about that. If the hiring
authority is going to judge you and consider you damaged goods rather than
appreciating your honesty and acknowledging the factors one might associate
with the alleged resume blotch, you don't want to work there anyway.

Making
<http://thecareerguide.blogspot.com/2010/02/making-lemonade-starting-busines
s-after.html> Lemonade: Starting a Business After Ending a Career

What do you do when the money tree starts sprouting lemons?

It's increasingly common these days to find middle-aged, mid-level managers
suddenly faced with huge shifts of circumstance. Down-sizing,
bubble-bursting, plant-closing, and consolidating are just some of the
forces creating a class of sudden solo-preneurs.

At 50-something, you face particularly difficult job-hunting challenges.
Your salary range is high. Your network is decent after so many years, but
jobs at your level are few. You've been there, done that, and thought you
were finished with all that new trick-learning.

A big upset like job loss can provide a shift of perspective, an opportunity
to take stock. What is really important? What do you want to pursue at this
point in your life? Is being your own boss the way to go?

I spoke with several silverbacks to share their wisdom gleaned from these
life changes with a new member of the pack.

Dean turned 50 in January of 2005. In May he was fired from his position as
marketing director of a high-tech firm. He's angry at the ease with which an
employer could let him go.

"Control is a big issue for me," Dean says. "Do I really want to have
someone tell what, where, and how? It seems like I work a lot but don't reap
the benefits. If I were on my own I'd have all the benefits and all the
risks."

Dean is deciding whether to find another job with the security of a regular
paycheck and benefits or start his own business. He finds information on the
Internet helpful but wishes there was a Big Brother-like program pairing
people and businesses to help him sort through the options.

Carl was 51 when the ordinance plant where he was safety manager closed its
doors. "I had a lot of friends in the business," he says. "I could have
easily picked up another job, but I would have had to relocate halfway
across the country. I didn't want to do that."

When Bob's engineering position was eliminated after 23 years with the firm,
he went him into a deep depression that lasted for months. "I couldn't even
drive," he says.

With the help of his psychiatrist, Bob recognized what was most important in
his life, his wife, his son, and his lifelong hobby, bird-watching. "My
doctor told me to go bird-watching every day," Bob recalls. "While out there
on the wetlands I had a vision. I couldn't go back to the corporate life."

It takes a lot of stamina and belief in yourself to move ahead with plans
for a business. Carl describes his state of mind at the time: "I wasn't
frightened," he says. "I'm a survivor. I screwed up when I was younger -
went bankrupt, lost a lot of material things. One good thing about failing
is that it gets you over that fear of failure. You learn from your
mistakes."

Both Bob and Carl did a lot of research, internal and external. Bob
determined that he loved birds, kids, nature, education, photography, and
the environment. Anything he pursued needed to involve those elements. Once
he was clear on the essentials the how-to landed in Bob's lap.

"I saw an ad in a magazine to call for franchise information," he recounts.
"My mind immediately took off with the possibilities. I began looking at
retail spaces thinking 'I wonder how that location would work?' I saw the ad
on a Saturday. That Tuesday I called the company. On Thursday I had the
package and on the following Tuesday they had it back."

Carl took his time, looking at options. His values included a love of people
and a desire to create a positive environment. His plans started with casual
conversation. "My buddies owned this building," he recollects. "There had
been a restaurant there years ago but it had been mismanaged. And somehow
the idea of starting another one came up. At first we were clowning around,
yucking it up over a few beers, but then we started getting more serious.

While Bob made use of the infant, but already helpful, Internet of 1995,
Carl used lower-tech methods to estimate his market. "I spent 15 days from 4
a.m. to 11 a.m. counting cars at that intersection. I figured if we could
get a big enough percentage of them to stop we'd be in business," Carl says.

Bob used a book on franchising to help him review his offer. Carl was
mentored by a successful friend in the restaurant business who helped him
think things through. They developed their business plans and opened their
doors.

The first year was tough for both businesses. Miscalculations and errors
sent both owners reeling.

At first Carl knew nothing about preparing and serving food. "The restaurant
was overstaffed and overpaid," he recalls. "I felt held hostage by the
people who worked for me. Things were pretty shaky there for awhile. Some
days I wondered if we could open the doors."

Bob got overwhelmed with paperwork and screwed up his accounting records.
"Plus I went crazy at Vendormart," he says. "I bought four times as much
inventory as I should have. Nowadays the franchise pairs successful stores
and newbies so that doesn't happen, but those safeguards weren't in place
back then."

Bob's store is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary and has been
recognized three times among the Top 30 Most-Improved stores. Recently his
store was No. 2 out of 320 in overall sales.

Carl was advised that he'd know if the restaurant would make it within four
years. It was clear after three that everything would be fine. Today after
seven years he's looking to expand. "We're not getting rich, but we're
self-supporting, and the relationships are priceless," he says.

What advice do they have in hindsight for Dean and others like him?

Bob says, "Find what you love and create your opportunity. Be willing to
change-be retooled. Don't get stuck in a rut. And you gotta have another
source of income when you're starting."

Carl adds, "We grossly underestimated the working capital we'd need. And if
I had it to do over I'd own the building. There are improvements I'd like to
make but I'm restricted by the landlord."

So back to Dean, who's looking at buying an existing restaurant business, if
he doesn't decide to return to marketing. Where does he want to be in a
year? What will he say when I check back with him?

I made the right choice. I'm doing exactly what I should and I'm excited
about it.
