Here is the website in case you want to check it out: (redacted)Īfter looking through the minimum requirements I see that I am lacking the following: I was wondering if you could offer me some advice on where to begin. I checked out the website that was advertised and I think this may be something I want to pursue. The extent of my experience in coding comes from creating some macros in the visual basic editor in Microsoft Excel, which I found to be quite enjoyable. I have always been interested in the idea of coding but have very limited experience. Today on the news here they ran a segment stating that multiple companies within the city of (redacted) are looking for coders.

Here’s a really long email I got recently (you don’t have to read all of it, just skim it): If your email is longer than a paragraph or two, people will often put off reading it and it will probably take you longer to get a response. If you can keep an email to less than 2 or 3 sentences, it’s much easier to read it right then. In an effort to help people cut through the noise with their emails, and hopefully free up a little bit of my time, I wanted to share a few tips that I’ve found are helpful when writing to people who are inundated with email.

' might sound too presumptuous for some, getting too close to assuming compliance. A previous question asked 'Which dialects of English consider “would” to be a polite form of “will”?' I'd say it's a virtually universal pragmatic device to use 'would' where 'will' would appear the logical choice (though there are probably some situations where using it might be confusing).
