Tuesday’s Tip: Handwritten Notes

July 17, 2007 · Print This Article

The world we live in is so based around electronic communication that taking the time to do something the old fashion way can really make you stand out from the crowd. Following up meeting a new handquill.gifbusiness contact with a short note in your own handwriting can form a lasting impression that would be difficult to achieve with email.

If you’ve become too dependent on email’s spell check, go ahead and write your message on the computer before copying it to your note. It may seem silly to do this, but if it lets you better compose your thoughts and makes you look professional, it is well worth the effort.
