What NOT To Do … Email Edition
November 7, 2014We’ve all been there –

- allowed ‘autocomplete’ to choose the wrong recipient
- used ‘Reply All’ for no good reason
- forgot to use spellcheck

- use track changes in an email, or
- send a mass email before activating merge fields.

<sigh>
In spite of it all, I’d actually consider applying for a position.
Sororally yours …
