From the employer's point of view, job-hunting is not so much a process of selection, as it is a process if elimination. This person has spelling errors on her resume, this person never finished his degree, this person hasn't returned my calls… the pile of applications, or resumes, gets thinner and thinner.
When you are job-hunting online, the primary impression that people have of you is from your e-mails with them. If you dash off quick notes with sentence fragments, spelling errors, and poor grammar, you may never get to make an impression on them in person. Use e-mail as a way of getting your communication to a person quickly, but don't let that sense of speed and efficiency slop over into the way you write.
Thank-You Notes
If someone does you a favor, e-mail them a thank-you note within 24 hours, or as soon after that as is practicable. In special cases, you might consider sending them, in addition, another thank-you note by regular mail, through the U.S. Post Office. (You wouldn't believe how many letters I have received, where thank-you notes were the one thing that made the difference in someone's job-hunt.)
