Please PROOF your emails!


What does it say about you as a salesperson, recruiter, or job seeker when you make errors like these examples that were sent to me? My comments are in italics.
We're all human. I've done dumb things like this too.
This is a good reminder for all of us to double check our work.
Thanks!

Hey Everet,
I just got your Massage (I never give men massages). I looked over the jobs you sent on Friday but I would like to try and find something closer to the WI & IL boarder.  I went and talk to  ______ the HR Director form my work about the AV job that will be opening up here soon. I will be having a interview as soon as it opens up. But I don't know when that will be. Last I have heard is they are fine tuning the job discrimination (Oh good. I hate it when companies have discrimination polices that are not fine tuned and discriminate in a general way). I am still looking for any jobs that would be out there.

Thanks,
