No, you will be shadow banned and added to several of the secret cringe compilations of the professional email writers guild.
I use “Hello Mr./Dr. ”. It’s professional enough.
nvm i figured out the answer
I do that all the time. I'd say it's fine.
aight, thanks
Don't forget to add a smiley. That makes you look more approachable.
Are euros a lot more formal in general? Burger here
We go out for drinks with our bosses after work and make dick jokes with them
I used to start my applications with 'sup?' and got back multiple invitations. Some even replied
>"'sup", Mr. Anonymous.
you mean like
Hello :^),
...
Dear Sirs,
Dear ____,
Only use titles if they are a doctor or knighted. Mister? Wtf
Using "Dear Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms" will make you sound like a 'would like to speak to the manager' soccermum.
Exactly
Ay niggy,
I was looking at our pr's today and it looks like one of the CI's is fucked. Can you do something about it?
Regards,
My Full Name
This is some sweet tech
TO WHOM I MAY CONCERN
There's a huge difference between individual countries. In Germany and Austria it's usually very formal.
Austrobong here, thats why I was unsure, but I have decided to stick with "hello," I dont want to sound too formal either.
No I usually want applicants to address me by "sup nigga"
fuck no
s/I/IT/
ffs, I can't spehl nor type, time to slep
Rule won of the English language: Their our know rules.?
waht
Na dann viel Glück.
Danke sehr, eigentlich wollte ich nur Schaltpläne haben, weiß ich nicht wie alle auf eine Bewerbung kommen.
it's like this
Hello.
Blah balh abagag3wf4wg4 yheh
Signed, (you)
AAAHHHHHHHH
(you)
Depends on your industry and how chill the other end is. A lot of the more loose side of IT will usually start off with "Hey" or "Hi" but the more professional side will begin with "Hello" or "Dear ____". Be sure not to mix the two. I did that once and almost lost a bit client for the place I was working for because I started an email with "Hey _____!" but this was early enough in my career that I learned from it, and both places went under eventually anyway.
Weil Jow Forums zur Hälfte aus Studenten besteht (wenigstens kommt es einem so vor bei den ganzen CS degree threads). Die denken nur ans Bewerbungen schreiben.
The last thing I thought about as student was writing applications, still down't know how I got a job. Must have been an accident.
one of the things i hate the most on this earth is the period between
Hello!
/..../
Best regards, user
and
yea i did the thing. have you heard of black midi
What are you saying?
sent :^)
I usually go with "Dear Hiring Manager" if I don't know the name
ah. i mean, when you learn to know a person and it turns out theyre a geek for X, you get a formal connection and
holy shit how autistic can you get
For business, yes and include a Mr, Mrs, whatever.
In uni, if a professor actually demands you address them as Prof. or Dr you're probably in a department with some pretentious fucks.
One poor fucker actually addressed our programming professor as "Dr." and he sent it out to everyone and said "please, just call me by my first name"
Oh I see, I thought you meant "period" literally, like the dot symbol, not a period of time between events.
Seek help, but unironically.
Seek help, but ironically.
i mean there IS a period between when you have to be formal and when you don't
Yes, I understand the intent now. But initially I thought you had a problem with sentences being separated by periods. Like on principle, so I had to ask.
whatever you do, don't top-post
Is there? I greet people by telling them about my taste in rare fetish porn.
haha right. i don't :) however i'm kind of disturbed that you had to (try to) ask?
I didn't get it either. Then again I'm basically retarded from lack of sleep.
The story of a man who hates punctuation is something I really wanted to hear.
Like this youtube.com
>Then again I'm basically retarded from lack of sleep.
Same to be honest
Good afternoon,
Blah blah blah, I don't really give a damn about you.
Regards,
Me
good afternoon would have been a good idea too, thanks, ill remember it for next time
kind of always jetlagged due to all my millenial diagnoses
there's a childrens story about an evil guy who never learned how to read so he has a special vaccuum cleaner that only eats letters. it's named after his dog who eats all the Q's (because they have a tail like a cat)
Gonna try to get some sleep in, so should you.
...what a weird thread.
There's a kids book where a mountain is mean and this concludes with a cloud punching his nose off. I wish I could find pictures.
It is good feeling.
What was his response?
i like "privet, cyka blyat" myself
blame the french
I have to email exec's several orders of magnitude above me and do my emails like this
Greetings/good morning/good afternoon.
The blah blah blah has been blah blah blah
Regards user
>not starting emails with "To whom it may concern,"
how to get fired.
you should always know who you're emailing. at least their position
Dear Mr.Executive-sama,
I am severely autistic (I have trouble reading social cue's)! I hope you're having a good afternoon :). I just wanted to let you know about xyz; I need more funding!
Please respond, I've tried everybody else!!!!
>jokes around with work pals
>start an email to the higher-ups
>"Why, hello there faggot"
>go to press backspace
>hit return instead and sends message
>post yfw this happens
Cute!
Wouldn't even be mad at this.
this is precisely why i would write emails on a word document before pasting them into the email app
"Greetings, peasant"
>filling in the "To" field before writing the complete e-mail and re-checking what you wrote
Rookie mistake, gotta learn not to do that or you're never gonna make it.
what the fuck kinda email client sends upon hitting return lmao
Get on my level, managed to create a Bedlam DL3 style mailpocalypse after setting up our mailserver and blasting everyone with my testmail.
rip glowanon
may he rest in pieces
Given the fact that your posting on Jow Forums you probably don't have much hope with anything professional anyway
LMAO DID THIS JUST HAPPEN
RIP THIS DUDE
For anyone who missed it user made a YUGE MISTAKE by posting classified emails, kinda
Brazil here. My female boss dickslaps me if I as much as look at her unauthorized. Good thing that's not guy
The only way to begin a professional email is with "my name is and I'm about to make you an offer you can't refuse"
Entirely depends on the boss. But usually your boss is not your friend in europe.
CEO here, email me with
>to whomst've'd it may concern
And you will get instant raise
>My female boss dickslaps me
you meant she slaps your dick right
>to whomtersino it may concernario
>t. user
