“As e-mail customer service and
support becomes increasingly popular, it’s an excellent idea to
test the writing and response skills of potential candidates via
e-mail. … a good way to check for e-mail literacy at the get-go
is to ‘interview’ the candidate via e-mail sometime during the
initial screening process.”
