It’s your first week in your new position. Congratulations! You have just landed your dream job with Google, Tesla, Amnesty International, or the CIA. You may select your own company from the whole world of possibilities! Your boss has asked you to send an interoffice email with a professional headshot and short bio to introduce yourself to the team. Using professional writing techniques, craft a short message that makes an excellent first impression and reaches these goals:
Demonstrates excitement, goodwill, and gratitude for being hired at this company and working with this group of people.
Provides a brief overview of who you are, including relevant background, experiences, and skills, without sounding over- or under-confident.
Explains your role in the company, with specifics on how this will benefit the audience of the message.
Demonstrates credibility (competence, caring, character) by using proper formatting in the subject, greeting, body, and signature of the email and tailoring to the specific company. Includes a professional headshot.
