WHATSAPP ETIQUETTE

-


Related image

Whatsapp has now become the most preferred mode of conversation, substituting many SMSes and phone calls. We are glued onto our mobiles like never before, sending good morning, good night messages without even knowing what is the other person's wish. Thus, the need to discuss some simple, basic things which we tend to overlook.

1. Read the message? Please reply, courtesy sake

2. Overuse of emojis- I agree these are our saviors when we don't know what to reply but overusing can display a lack of interest. Ask yourself, do you really want to send that message across?



3. Don’t have conversations with one person in a Group. We have a private window for that

4. If you are a part of groups which have a defined purpose, please stick to the purpose. Not everyone is comfortable receiving irrelevant forwards. And honestly, the spam messages can get really annoying especially when we receive the same messages from same people on different groups EVERY SINGLE DAY

5. In the case of work groups, please don't post between 8 pm to 8 am. We don't like discussing work when we reach home

6. Why send personal messages like your husband's employee of the year achievement to your professional contacts?

7. Private Whatsapp messages should only be sent to people whom we know. We cannot pick up numbers from Whatsapp groups or anywhere else and start bombarding them with our promotional messages on private windows

8. Please excuse yourself before leaving Whatsapp groups

What are your thoughts on these? Please feel free to add on to this list.

You cannot fail at being YOURSELF

I LOVE YOU – BUT DO I LOVE ME? We often, hear ourselves telling others, “I love you” but the irony is, do we love ourselves?! Let’s be clear about this – We can love others only if we love ourselves. Even in the flight, the air hostess instructs us to wear the oxygen mask and then help others. Similarly, first let us learn to help and love ourselves and only then can we help others. Self-acceptance is all about loving yourself for who you are. Yes – Who you are! Not what you should have been and not what you want to be but who you are- NOW! You must be wondering – but, how do I accept myself – when I always feel low while comparing myself with others, have a low self – esteem, and think I'm good for nothing (especially when I make terrible mistakes) Here is the key! 1. Look at yourself in the mirror. Hug yourself, kiss yourself. Admire every scar, stretch mark that you have. They play a major part in making you. It’s okay to have them. L

Soft Skills for the Retail Industry

Soft Skills- Need of the hour Retail is one of those sectors where soft skills are need more attention than the hard skills (technical skills). In fact, according to research conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center, soft skills are responsible for 85% of career successes, while only 15% is attributed to hard skills. A wonderful grade and amazing schooling will yield no good if you do not invest your time and energy into enhancing your soft skills. I thought let me put my retail experience to good use and share some tips with you all. While my focus is on soft skills, I have also mentioned some business and technical skills.
