27. Format of E-mail • The date and time is automatically inserted by your computer – so make sure you keep your computer’s internal clock accurate. • Key in the e-mail addresses exactly. Correctly addressed email are delivered within seconds. It can take days to receive an error message letting you know that an incorrectly addressed message did not get delivered. • Always write a subject heading. This will give the recipient a good idea of the contents of the message and makes for easier handling. • Formality are not necessary in e-mails. Replace formal salutations like ‘Dear David’ with informal ‘Hello David’ or even just ‘David’. ‘Yours sincerely’ is not needed in emails, perhaps just ‘Best wishes’ or ‘All the best’ • Express yourself. Emoticons can be used • to show mood in your email messages. :-) happy ;-) wink ;-( sad :-I indifference :-/ perplexed :-D shock or surprise

28. Basic Rules of E-mail • Check your syntax. Make an effort to keep sentences short and simple, and check your syntax. The more pride you take in your message composition, the more successful you will be in being understood and achieving the desired results. • Keep copies. Just as you would keep copies of letters, it is good practice to take a printout of email messages sent and receiving. • Check your message. As soon as you hit the ‘send’ symbol, your message may be received in seconds. No calling it back for second thoughts. So check it and get it right first time.

46. What’s important when…? Job-sharing ☆Find someone you like. ☆Organize and plan how you share the work ☆ ☆ Finding someone you like is the most important when you start a job-share. As job sharing is a way for two people to both fill one job, finding someone you like is very important for the success of the scheme. You may find one from your current workplace, or you may find one from outside through all kinds of contacts. Mini-presentation

47. What’s important when…? Job-sharing ☆Find someone you like. ☆Organize and plan how you share the work ☆ ☆ Organizing and planning how you share the work is also important. If it’s shared responsibility, there is no division of duties but the two people have to split the hours clearly to ensure that the work flows continuously. If it’s divided responsibility, each partner has to be clear about his own case----load or project to focus on during his working hours. Mini-presentation

48. Mini-presentation • If it’s unrelated responsibility, the partners have to learn what their separate tasks are in the same department, and each has to do his own share well. • Communication is another important factor to consider when you arrange the job-share especially for shared responsibility. Partners have to communicate well so that jobs are done smoothly. Using email, voicemail messages, daily logs and notes are some techniques that help facilitate communication.
