Handling Your Email Inbox

It's no secret that over the last decade many industries have dramatically evolved thanks to the advancements in the internet. Email now plays a vital role in communication and the organisation of many services, notably in this case - graduate jobs. Although it can be overwhelming at times, we can't stress enough how important it is to stay on top of incoming emails as missing the most important ones could cost you an opening or even an interview for your dream job. If you're registered with several recruitment services, are you using a separate email address or filters to handle the incoming alerts? Have you set your preferences to only receive the roles you are interested in? Are you opening them? If you don't stay on top of it and leave emails unopened as they build up, then you run the risk of missing something very important. Don't close doors on yourself no matter how busy you are. It only takes 2 minutes to scan over your emails so keep an ear to your inbox!
