Since then, the theme of following your instincts and applying to work what you're good at keeps turning up in front of me. My greatest professional asset is in my ability to write good emails, knowing how to craft a short one and also a long one when it's called for. Not surprisingly then, my current job in press and partnerships requires me to be skilled at outreach over email. In a world where Slack and other chat software are trying to supplant email, my correspondence skills remain of the utmost importance. When you're 23, you don't know that being great at writing emails can be the framework for a job.
