职场礼仪的英文是business etiquette,etiquette念成[ˈɛtɪkət],是指“礼节、规范”。如今网络流行,美国人还发明了一个新词叫作netiquette,加了一个n,前缀形成了net,特别指网上礼节,也就是good behavior on the internet。一起来看看职场E-mail礼仪有哪些:
(×)IF YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, PEOPLE WOULD THINK YOU ARE SHOUTING YOUR MESSAGE.
(○)If you type in all capital letters, people would think you are shouting your message.
全部大写的句子不但难读,还带来一种粗鲁感。在银行工作的Jack就说,他以前都用大写字母写E-mail,有一次收到客户回信:Why did you yell at me?很尴尬。
(×)i've attached my resume i would be grateful if you could read it and get back to me at your earliest convenience.
(○)I've attached my resume. I would be grateful if you could read it and get back to me at your earliest convenience.
所有字母都小写,感觉就像chatting with your friends,像跟朋友说话一样,不正式。E-mail本来就不像手写书信那样正式,但这是职场礼仪,即便是同事、客户、伙伴之间的交谈,也不宜sloppy(马虎)。
(×)Would you mind at all if I asked you to send that to me, if it's not too much trouble?
(○)Can you send that to me?
大部分人都知道E-mail要礼貌,但矫枉过正,经常流于太有礼貌,太多客套赘述,反而影响别人对你的观感,觉得你虚假,或者没自信。
忘记附件再寄,要用corrected version with attachment included。
你一定有这样的经验,E-mail发了,却发现忘了附件。一旦发现错误,可以在subject line里写:corrected version with attachment included.这个记住了非常好用。
