Rules for Effective Business Communication

College is the start of your professional life. This is the time to learn to communicate well.

All business and college writing should use standard English. This is not the place for Facebook style messaging.
Do not assume others know the jargon of your field. Explain terms the first time you use them.
Do not use your nickname or humorous email. Get an email with your name for professional purposes.
Do not use your company email to write to friends and family.
Learn to use the tools available to create links, not just URLs. This is a link, this is just a URL: hello-world.com
Use the tools to insert images, not as attachments.
Learn to use the tools to create diagrams. Hand drawn diagrams have no place in business communication.
Check your spelling and proofread before sending! Was your job really torturing children or were you tutoring them?
Do not use "Reply All" unless that is really what you intend.
Do not call anyone by their first name unless they invite you to do so.
Treat others with respect and consideration, and use common sense in all communications.
