如果你想在自己的職業生涯中脫穎而出,那麼在任何時候都要保持專業和可靠是很重要的—即使你在休假時也是如此。但是每個人都應該休息一段時間。如果你有一個良好的工作和生活平衡,你的假期應該是一個真正的假期,沒有每五分鐘檢查一次你的電子郵件。
那麼你如何保持可靠?關鍵是一個有效的“不在辦公室”的自動回覆,這個功能啟動後,它會自動發送給任何寄信給你的人。你可能會認為這很基本,那麼代表你已經有了很好的專業禮儀。然而,還有人仍然沒開始這項習慣。如果你是這些人中的一員,而且你沒有設置任何自動回覆就離開辦公室,那麼你會讓每個發送電子郵件的人都認為你忽略了他們。在即時溝通的時代,這會加劇人們的情緒,並使你顯得不可靠。
(如何描述各種假期的說法,請看 → [英文] 五花八門的假,到底該怎麼說?)
扭扭分享兩種類型的自動回覆:
- “不在辦公室”的回覆 - 因為您在度假,病假,家庭緊急情況等。
- “晚點回信”的回覆 - 因為當您參加工作相關的活動時
如何表達"不在辦公室"
Subject line – Out of office:
Hello,
Thanks for your email. I am out of the office until [DATE]. I will reply to your email after I return.
If you need more immediate assistance, please email John Wang (johnw@aaacompany.com).
Best,
[YOUR NAME]
- 你會reply “after” you return,而不是reply “when” you return。 不要說你會回覆信件"當你回來",這樣你在進辦公室的那天可能需要回覆好幾百封信件。---給自己留時間完成回信
- “更”即時協助,而不是“即時協助”。不要承諾讓你的同事立即回覆。當你不在的時候,他們已經增加額外的工作去cover你的事情。所以你應該在信件中表達出,他們將能夠“在你回來前"更即時“提供幫助。
以下是不應包含在離開辦公室消息中的內容:
- 你為什麼出去:不要吹噓你的愉快度假,不要承認你有家庭緊急情況( family emergency)。畢竟你不在辦公室的原因與任何人無關,人們只需要知道你不在辦公室。
- 你出去的第一天:許多人說,“我會從X月X日到X月X日不在辦公室。當對方收到自動回覆信件時,你一定已經不在辦公室了。因此,沒有必要揭示你的假期有多長,只需告知你何時會回來。
- 你要去哪裡:再次強調,不要吹牛。再者,這就像你不應該在社交媒體上告訴全世界你離開你的家一樣,你也不應該透過電子郵件告訴別人。不要說這太誇張,之前我就有親戚在長週末的時候被偷了...這種事情真的發生過。(所以扭扭的家族旅遊都不會打卡,特別是出國很多天的行程更是低調)
如何表達"晚點回信"
Subject line – Slow to Respond:
Hello,
Thanks for your email. I am at [EVENT NAME] until [DATE] and may be slow to reply until then.
If you need more immediate assistance, please email John Doe (jdoe@fakename.com).
Best,
[YOUR NAME]
如果你出差、離開團隊或你仍在工作的任何其他場合,你應該使用“晚點回覆”,意思是你還是再上班,但是無法回覆您的資訊像往常一樣即時。休假時不要使用“Slow to Respond”。
基本上格式大同小異, 以下用顏色做一點區分, 大家可以更換著用, 這樣才不會顯得文字很呆版或是太制式~
