Hi everyone!

Let’s see how you should react to these situations -

1. Email as a means of communication is for formal use. Therefore, it is very important that you use the correct format, proper information and relevant details when writing. Proper subject, body, signature, attachments and concise information is of utmost importance.

2. Applying for jobs should not be a quick process. If it is, then you’re going wrong somewhere. Devote a dedicated time in your day to look for jobs that match your skillset and carefully go through the Job Description.

3. You should always have your resumes/CVs or cover letters in PDF and DOC format since different jobs require different formats.

4. When it comes to any important documents, always read them thoroughly so that you don’t miss out on essential details.

5. Punctuality is the greatest skill you can ever have!

6. Relocation is a big decision, and shouldn’t be made in a hurry. When applying for jobs which would require you to relocate, carefully consider your situation and make an informed choice!

7. LinkedIn is the way to go!

8. Being polite is always the best course of action, especially in formal settings!

9. This was a tricky question, and both answers are correct. However, the length is where the actual matter lies! Subject should always be an title to the content. It should not be more than 10-15 words at max and never only a word. The body of the mail is where you elaborate.

10. Another trick question - Being modest about your skills and intentionally ambitious about the value you can offer are required. You just need to find the right balance between the two!
