Being Tech-Savvy!

Etiquette has been practised for centuries.  Emailing and texting has only been around for less than 2 decades.  So it is not a surprise that there are still some people who has not integrated etiquette with their electronic or technological lives.  Here are some of the common faux pas in communicating through the latest technology and how to be more tech-savvy in today's modern society:

Practise good email etiquette!

1.  Don't shout (applies to both email and text).
     How would you read the following texts if you receive this in your mobile phone?

    PLEASE SUBMIT THE REPORT TO ME BY 3PM.

    TEXT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

    Or how would you interpret this if you receive something like this on your email:

    I would like to request for you to pick up the documents before 2pm today as I will be out of the office in the afternoon. 

Some may be neutral in reacting to these examples, while others may feel offended, as though they were not capable of understanding the message, so it needed to be emphasized to them.  We write or text certain things one way, but receivers may read it another way.  So always be cautious and wise as to which word/s you may want to emphasize with bold or italics, but make sure that you do not "shout" in your text or emails.

Being Chic for your Christmas Party 2011

Corporate Christmas Parties is inevitably part of every corporate professional's December calendar of events.  Dressing for these occasions gives a chance for a regular employee to show off their fashion sense and style.  For this year's holiday season, key elements and details on dresses and styling are predicted to create an outstanding impression for the otherwise, dull and boring corporate look of any office employee.

One-shouldered Dress

From the red carpet to cocktail parties (your own Christmas party), this 2011 trend gave sexiness once again to the asymmetrical look.  Whether it's a single sleeveless or a single long-sleeved style, this is one look that can create a more flattering look for anyone, and add a touch of confidence to the wearer.
