Netiquette for Acceptance of a Job or Other Situation - via Netiquette IQ

"Vini, vidi, vici"

- Julius Caesar

Congratulations!

You have been given a positive answer on your job or other application.  All offers and conditions have been accepted. Although a brief celebration is in order, there is much more to be done.  It is a time to be particularly mindful of good Netiquette.  This particular time in the hiring process should not witness a change in tone.  This can immediately inspire buyer’s remorse.  Here are some strongly recommended Netiquette processes to follow:

If you are going to accept the position be immediately forthcoming.

Graciously thank all involved, recruiter, hirer, references.

Stay in communications.

Ask for next steps – ask for clarification.

Do not offer surprises, objections or postponements.

Make no assumptions

Readjust your focus and stay that way.

When all items are successfully signed and delivered, submit your  resignation.  If done by email, maintain Netiquette standards as outlined throughout this book.

Change all of your electronic, email and social networks to the proper new information.  It is very poor Netiquette to have your old company email visible to anyone.
Set-up all of your Netiquette processes.

Netiquette - Quotation of The Day

Many of my readers may have noticed that I enjoy quotations.This is due, in part, to the fact that it helps me to get a message across, most often, more eloquently that my words. Also I think it adds power and reinforcement to what I am hoping to convey.
