She changed into President George W. Bush’s press secretary at simply 35-years-previous before becoming a member of Fox Information as a co-host on the network’s wildly popular afternoon show The Five. And now, Dana Perino has some occupation recommendation for you.

Perino presented her suggestions under the headline, “Five New 12 months’s profession guidelines for Millennials” on FoxNews.com Friday. She admits that this 12 months’s advice is “very practical” and will have to be capable of lend a hand all you “younger other folks” obtainable “support your probabilities for just right efficiency opinions, promotions and raises in any job.”

The first two tips on Perino’s listing deal exclusively with e-mail etiquette. First, she advises, “In e mail communications with supervisors and executives, don’t use emoticons or multiple exclamation factors. Cease being so emotional in emails.” It’s one thing for you foolish millennials to spend all day texting your friends “photos of celebration hats,” but it’s simply no longer applicable in an electronic mail to your boss.

Next, Perino explains one thing you almost certainly don’t find out about emails: They are purported to have topic lines. “Please research to make use of new topic strains when introducing new subject matters,” she writes, even giving an instance of a “excellent” topic line in an effort to help the recipient “prioritize” their response: “Two quick things, one FYI.” So specific!

Number three? “Don’t irritate potential mentors.” This is good recommendation because millennials steadily don’t be aware of that they shouldn’t annoy the people they wish to help them. As an example, Perino suggests that you don’t write this to a possible mentor: “My, my aren’t you a busy bee!” If I had a nickel for each time I heard a millennial use that expression…

Perino’s penultimate tip is that you just read extra and watch much less TV, and specifically that you simply create a “weekend reading” folder with belongings you weren’t able to trap all the way through the week. Now I do know what you’re thinking, isn’t that what apps like Instapaper or Pocket are for? No, you should “print some of them in an precise actual life paper folder” like Perino does.

At last, Perino suggests that you simply “do your individual community audit,” which includes writing down “who are you aware, what industries they work in, where they reside, what jobs they’ve had or have that you just’d prefer to have in the future, and so forth.” On this one, I feel perhaps she’s confused. She has to understand that LinkedIn is a factor, doesn’t she? Either approach, that you could almost certainly skip number five and simply use LinkedIn.

Finally, the only thing that matters is that Perino has “a sense that good issues are in store for you in 2014.” So whether or not you apply her recommendation, or just have well-liked feel, you’re going to be an enormous success!

Note: The creator of this submit wish to disclose that he was once born between the years 1980 and 2000, making him, technically, a millennial.
