Tạm kết:

Trong quá trình học tập và làm việc, viết nhiều sẽ thành quen, rồi chúng ta sẽ chau chuốt thêm các yếu tố khác như tính cách, văn phong, ngôn từ, văn hoá để gây được ấn tượng tốt hơn. Việc không nhận được phản hồi sau email đầu tiên cũng không phải là hiếm. Chúng mình nên đọc lại email thứ nhất để xem có điêm yếu nào cần cải thiện không. Sau đó các bạn hoàn toàn có thể gửi email thứ 2 với nội dung tương tự, nhưng điều chỉnh và làm nổi bật những điểm mạnh.
