The exact change
"Every professional email is a tiny resume. The reader decides in seconds whether you are worth more time. Make those seconds count." Ann Handley, Everybody Writes [...] "If the person you are writing to has not responded, the fault is rarely in them. Either the email did not land at the right moment, or it did not give them a clear reason to respond. Both are your craft, not their rudeness." Josh Bernoff, Writing Without Bullshit [...] "Search is a distribution problem. A good search sends quality signal to many people consistently. Most candidates send inconsistent signal to too few." William Zinsser, On Writing Well
