COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE AT YOUR FIRST JOB Instant Messaging: > Use IM to stay engaged, “like” colleague’s posts, and use it to check in with others on your team. > IM others to ask simple questions, ones that do not require lengthy responses. > Continue to use appropriate language; while typically acceptable to use abbreviations over IM, continue to speak professionally. Writing Emails: > Always include a greeting (“Hello Mr. Johnson,”) and signature (“Sincerely, -John Smith”) in your first email. It is not as necessary later in an email chain. > Use professional language and grammar. Take time to proofread your emails, and double check when sending emails to large groups. Phone & Video Calls: > Schedule meeting times for any items that could benefit from brainstorming, collaboration, or a conversation for understanding. > If on video, dress appropriately and consider your background, audio, and lighting. > Stay focused! Multitasking is more obvious than you think.
