After reading through this module and with my own personal experience, email etiquette is important because it reflects your professionalism. Many of the people you connect with on linkedin or even send emails to at work may be people you have never met or might never meet in person. You don’t know if you will connect with these people in the future and you want to make sure you leave the best impression possible. Spelling error and informal communication can lead to people believing your lack attention to detail and lack experience in a professional setting. These emails are important because they can lead to other opportunities.

For groups, I joined Pet Online Marketing Group, HVAC Jobs, Sales, Marketing, Management Acceleration Group, and Kansas City Marketing Professionals. The positions that stood out to me were, Marketing Manager, Product Manager and Brand Strategist. These positions are usually better paid because of the management level. The top skills desired for these positions were communication skills, organization skills, leadership skills and attention to detail. My strongest skills are my communication and attention to detail. My weakest is the leadership skills. I have had the opportunity to manger employees when I worked with Primrose but I often struggled with having difficult conversations with employees. This is a skill that I would have to develop.
