5 Tips for Effective Mobile InMailing and Jobs

1. Determine if you're sending to a wireless device

2. Keep message short and sweet

3. Don't overabrv8.

4. Write a strong subject line OR a first paragraph that catches the readers eye

5. Skip the lengthy signature line

Presenter

Presentation Notes


A lengthy subject line will be cut off. Use something creative that will trigger candidates to open and

read your message

A message like this is fine when you are viewing it on a desktop. But on a

mobile device it becomes very lengthy. Candidate

has to scroll down to read the full mesage
