Hiding behind email is something that is fairly easy to do and is something I have to watch out myself as I’m prone to doing it from time to time.
Sending an email rather than picking up the phone and calling someone or seeing them in person is an easy way to get a message out…but whether or not the person receiving the email – assuming the email got delivered to their In box and not their Deleted folder – is another question.
As a recruiter, I know it’s easy to send an email rather than picking up the phone and calling someone but again, it’s so easy to send an email and just as easy to ignore it. Plus you’re basically putting your fate in their hands as you wait for them (to hopefully) respond quickly.
Just as we spoke about yesterday regarding how working for someone puts your fate in the hands of others, so does hiding behind email when you know in your heart and head that picking up the phone or seeing someone in person will possibly get you closer to what you’re looking for.
