If you’ve ever wondered what the best cold email subject lines are, you’re in the right place. Think about it: your subject line is quite possibly the most important part of a cold email. If it’s not compelling enough, a prospect might ignore your email completely and miss out on all the good stuff you’re offering inside. A good subject line, on the other hand, sets you up for success.

For much of this year, AI has been front page news. On top of that, new and more capable models and model versions were being announced on an almost weekly basis. But now, things seem a little quieter. When we read about AI in mainstream media, it’s often speculation about an AI bubble. And there’s plenty of chatter about Large Language Models – LLMs – hitting a ceiling, or at least a major slowdown, when it comes to new advances.

A cover letter , also known as an application letter, is a personalized letter from you to the person overseeing the hiring process for the job you’re applying for. A cover letter is not the same as a résumé. While a résumé provides a clear, point-by-point map of your career thus far, a cover letter tells the personal side of your career story. Ideally, your cover letter and résumé complement each other, with each document answering any questions the recruiter has about your skills and work exp

Of all the areas I try to help nonfiction authors better understand, this one can be the most confounding, as I’ve discussed before.

Taking a well-earned vacation from work is meant to allow employees to decompress from the stress of their jobs and return recharged. However, some workers experience a common phenomenon called post-holiday blues, or post-vacation depression, after taking paid time off (PTO). Although post-vacation depression isn’t a clinical disorder, feeling stressed and overwhelmed when going back to work after vacation is a sentiment that professionals widely experience.

Today’s post is by author Elinor Florence. Several years ago, I participated in National Novel Writing Month, a creative writing event known as NaNoWriMo. I joined hundreds of thousands of other writers around the planet who tackled the ambitious goal of completing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days. In one sense, I was successful. I dutifully churned out 2,000 words a day and at the end of the month, I had a 60,000-word first draft.

Shorthand can be useful for quickly communicating information—but only if you and your audience are familiar with the meaning of the given term. For those who don’t know: “TL;DR” is relatively common slang that stands for “too long; didn’t read.” However, the contextual meaning of this word can change depending on who is using it and how they use it.
