Twice.  Make sure your email is properly formatted with a subject title, greeting, and your full name and contact information in the closing.

11.  Ask about pay or salary  Ask about time off or vacation  Ask about perks  EVER bad-mouth any former boss, teacher, or coworker—no one wants to hire someone mean spirited  Use intimate or private voice—Always use the public voice in interviews, resumes, emails, and conversations
