Poe started publishing his poetry and stories in the early 1830s and pursued a career in journalism to ensure some sort of financial security.

The story made Poe famous with the fiction-reading public His poem "The Raven," which appeared in the New York Evening Mirror in January 1845, was a critical and commercial success. Along with "To Helen" and "Annabel Lee," "The Raven" is considered one of Poe's finest poems. "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" are arguably two of his best short stories.

"He handed me a copy of my e-mail and said, 'I just want to know your thoughts on this,'" recalls Ms. Darling, who had criticized her manager. "It's something you hope happens in your 20s. Heaven help you if you do that later in your career!"
Like Darling, who wasn't fired but left the company shortly afterward, many employees have learned the dos and don'ts of e-mail the hard way. Some workers get tripped up by e-mail etiquette. Others fall into a black hole of inefficiency because of ineffective electronic communication habits.
The importance of good e-mail skills
With the volume of e-mail growing rapidly, good e-mail skills have become more important than ever, some workplace experts say. For example, 1 in 10 employees spends more than four hours a day handling electronic tasks; nearly half spend at least two hours, according to a survey of 840 companies conducted this year by the American Management Association and the Policy Institute.
Junk e-mail contributes to the problem. But another more deeply rooted issue is ineffective communication practices. Employees' poor writing skills cost American corporations $3.1 billion annually in training costs, the National Commission on Writing estimated in a September report.
That's why companies—and individuals—are beginning to coach workers on how to use the medium effectively.
With more than 800 e-mails pouring into her inbox daily, Sharon Clay would be overwhelmed if she didn't focus on efficient e-mail techniques with laser-like intensity.
"People should go through their e-mail in the morning like calisthenics(健身操)", says Ms. Clay, an architectural manager at Nvidia Corp. While she offers one-on-one e-mail coaching, her company, which makes graphics and digital-media chips for computers, has begun holding e-mail training classes for employees.
Clay suggests that workers go through their in-boxes methodically and thoroughly every morning, and more often if necessary. Being predictable in one's response time is an essential part of being a good communicator, she adds.
Here are strategies Clay and others employ to handle the electronic flood:
Don't forget the phone
If your e-mail has more than three points or questions, you're probably better off calling or meeting someone when you can have a discussion based on his or her answers.
Create an alert system
Use color-coding, fonts, and styles to prioritize your inbox. These visual hints enable you to recognize and respond to critical emails quickly. Lower-priority items can be moved into folders to be dealt with later. Clay combs through most of these folders at least once a week.
Remember your grammar
It's not just a courtesy. It ensures clear communication—and may determine your business success. Half of all companies surveyed by the National Commission on Writing took an employee's writing skills into account when making promotion decisions. So while it may save you time to leave out nouns and use abbreviations, don't do it. It can confuse co workers. Also, use clear and concise subject lines.

Seeing Your Way Past Interview jitters
It is not unusual to experience a mild attack of nerves before a job interview. But there are engineers whose interview jitters are intense enough to be harmful. They have such overwhelming apprehension and fear that they either become tongue-tied or proceed to talk themselves out of the job. Even many capable and articulate (表达力强的) engineers act stiff and awkward in interviews, often fidgeting or sitting on the edge of the chair.
When we're anxious, we frequently become self-conscious spectators of our own behavior. during interviews, observing and judging our every utterance and movement. This not only makes us more anxious and less convincing, but also divides our attention.
Excessive self-consciousness is particularly true among engineers who go to interviews with a do-or-die attitude. Trying too hard to succeed increases tension and reduces effectiveness. "The self-imposed pressure of trying to ace an interview can make some people focus too much on how they look and act," says Steven Berglas, a psychiatry instructor at Harvard Medical School. He feels that those who are overly conscious of their grooming, speech, body language, and other interviewing behavior. frequently "suppress those elements of their personality that won them the interview in the first place."
Perfectionist engineers particularly experience high anxiety during job interviews. Because they have a strong need to do well and have such inflated expectations of their own performance, any real or imaginary deviation from their self-imposed high, and often unrealistic, standards triggers excessive nervousness and self-critical ruminations. From one slight, innocuous mistake they automatically assume the entire interview will turn out badly.
This anticipation often drives them to behaviors and statements that would seem selfsabotage to an innocent bystander.
REDUCING TENSION
Although you may feel your blood pressure rise, palms moisten, and stomach tighten before an important interview, you can control these reactions.
According to H. Anthony Medley, author of Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed, there are four sound reasons why you have nothing to fear but fear itself, and they can help you keep an interview in perspective.
1. The interview centers on the subject you know best: yourself.
2. If you've done your homework, you have a decided advantage: You know more about the interviewer's company than it knows about you.
3. Interviewers expect job candidates to be a bit nervous.
4. You have nothing to lose. You didn't have the job offer before the interview, so if you don't have it afterward, you're no worse off.
Some interview failures may be inevitable. Most engineers have experienced at least one. The important point is to refrain from exaggerating the importance of an interview situation. Also, if possible, generate several interviews; don't pin your hopes on just one. A winning at-all-costs attitude seldom wins a job offer.
It is detrimental to adopt a confrontational stance with the interviewer. If you feel overly tense or belligerent, it is helpful to pretend that the interviewer is a good friend. A little make-believe can go a long way toward calming hostile feelings.
One interesting method of lessening interview stress is suggested by Lawrence Darius, president of Corporate Communication Skills Inc. , New York. He is convinced that one of the more effective ways to overcome interview jitters is to separate yourself from your performance. "Just as an actor or actress creates the character in a script, you must try to create a character for the position you're seeking," he explains. "You probably have an image of the ideal engineer or, better yet, of the perfect can

So while it may save you time to leave out nouns and use abbreviations, don&39;t do it. It can confuse co workers. Also, use clear and concise subject lines.
Watch whom you copy on e-mails
Make sure your recipients have the necessary context to understand an e mail or exchange of e-mails. If not, write a quick summary or add some clarification. Taking these steps will also help when referencing archived(存档的) e-mails. E-mail "is an excellent technology," says Darling, now a networking consultant in Boston. "It’s just so often misused." Darling warned: Don’t send sensitive information to someone you can’t trust to keep it confidential.
The dilemma on e-mails
Admittedly, all of this can be difficult to keep track of. Some companies have stepped in with software that analyzes employees’ communication patterns and identifies when they’ re using e-mail reproductively, says Andrew Wolff, vice president of products at DYS Analytics in Wellesley, Mass. , a software company. More advanced software also identifies employees who violate company policies by using e-mail for personal reasons. Some 30 percent of total workplace e-mail is personal, according to some estimates. E-mail guidelines should be written into company policy and enforced with software that can monitor e-mail and instant messaging records, says Anthony Sanchez, vice president of marketing at Waterford Technologies in Irvine, Calif. "Everybody’s problem boil down to education, policy, and enforcement," he says. "We can’t really change the people until there are policies that are going to be enforced."
