Audu was back in Mrs. Alabi's office fully reinvigorated. He felt proud of the day's achievement. All thanks to a rare gem who painstakingly put him through the rudiments of Professional Etiquette. His coach be praised!

Before he left, he decided to go over his note/jottings with her to be sure he comprehended everything that was said.

"Email Etiquette ma," he started, "also known as Netiquette is a form of communication in the corporate world. That is not to say friends and family relatives don't write emails to one another but the approach differs."

'That's right', nodding assertively.

Looking into his notepad he continued...
"You gave some very useful tips one needs to take into account. First, you mentioned having a professional sounding email address".

'Yes, I did'. She confirmed. 'Prospective employers and business contacts will not take you serious if your email address is like the one you, Audu currently have'

He laughed bending his head embarrassingly.

"I agree totally ma. You spoke extensively about that earlier and even helped me to create a new email address. I'm very grateful. Now I can proudly present my email address to anyone. For me now I understand it's an image I'm projecting, my email address conveys a message that I've been ignorant of".

'Correct! Remember I used your first and last name together to create this one you now have for you. In cases where your first and last name already exist and belong to other users, one can opt for initials, first letter of first name and last name, etc. Those are safer bets'.

" For instance, Ayokunle Okafor can register as aokafor@email. com".

'Absolutely!' Mrs. Alabi said obviously impressed.

"Thank you ma. Second you mentioned the use of an appropriate subject line".

'I did, Audu. The subject line should be short and to the point. It should describe accurately the subject of the email. " Hello " is not an acceptable subject line for a professional email'.

"Yes ma. The reason why my email landed in your junk folder was for this singular reason. I had no subject line at all".

'Good thing you still remember'. 'The third tip I talked about is the tone of your emails. I cannot overemphasize first of all the power of proofreading. Make sure you proofread your email before sending out. You don't want your tone to come across as rude, disrespectful, demanding and/or aggressive'.

" I found it funny when you said remove emotion and his twin emoticon grin" He laughed. "Youths believe these emoticons express feelings that words alone don't convey".

Mrs. Alabi laughed heartily too because it's trending now on social media. Youths using emoticons wrongly. In fact, bringing it into job applications is the one that baffles her the most. She has received mails with hands clasped together as if in prayer cheesy, making her wonder what that is for. Maybe it just goes to show how religious we are in this clime.

'That's a No-No! not acceptable at all. Let me also add that you don't type in all capital letters. It always come off as though the sender is shouting. Stay away from the use of exclamation marks. Don't abbreviate words (TTYL, U, 2, etc.). Fancy formats, fonts and layouts are distracting. It's not some sort of a show, it is an email therefore it is best to stick to plain text'.

" Yes ma. Can you please go over this point again ma? You said 'Get to the point'. What do you mean by that ma?".

'Good question. I was expecting you to ask then. The body of your email isn't for rambling. Keep it brief as much as you can while going straight to the point. If it's an application, be as persuasive as you can in your presentation and make sure it follows a logical and sequential pattern'.

"Thank you very much ma"

'You're welcome. Lastly, It is also a good idea to have your contact information in your signature. It is a good thing to do'. She said in closing.

"I'm more than grateful ma for everything. Your time and effort in explaining these things to me. These lessons weren't taught in the University by my lecturers, it's a privilege to have you put me through. I'm forever going to be thankful to you for all these".

Mrs Alabi smiled. 'You're welcome. It's a pleasure to have you here. You're a fast learner and a smart fellow. I'll forward you an email address to send an application to. We're hiring!'

Audu almost leaped in excitement. He was expecting to hear something of that sort but didn't want to ask her directly. He planned on asking the Secretary on his way out. He was more than sure that his application will be considered if he puts these lessons today when sending out applications. At least, being shortlisted is the first step in the right direction.

He thanked her. As he made to leave, she told him to see her secretary on his way out. Fortune had smiled on him, he was positive about the 'seeing'. His smile alone was like he won lottery, he thanked her one last time and made for the door.

So I am really keen on putting faces to the names here, but my other consciousness is saying Ogbeni couple yourself, you know you need to change Jobs ASAP, so start preparing to pitch yourself to these guys. sad sad grin


On the other hand, my head is saying David would be busy signing Autograph for the ladies angry and Ferdy would be thinking of his wife in Pluto undecided undecided (hasn't that been de-listed from the planets in our Solar system).

Nevertheless, I'm hopeful it would be a memorable day. smiley
