Stand out, dont stick out

To whomsoever it may concern, when applying for a job over email, here's how to be personal, yet professional. Yours sincerely...

Don't cross personal boundaries like Jennifer Aniston did in Mother's Day (2016), after she crashed Julia Roberts's event to get an interview. In The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Meryl Streep taught us presentation is key in job interviews.

Emails are tricky for job seekers. Sound like the perfect drone and your application will be ignored. Let your human side shine and you might just be noticed, but you'll also run the risk of seeming too weird. How much is too weird, anyway? Companies say they want to know the real you. Could they even handle the real you? Younger employees particularly struggle with hitting the right note. They're eager to impress, but also keen to acquiesce. Two recruiters show you how not to get cast away in a sea of Dear Sir emails.

Paint a picture.
