Details, details, details.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

There\u2019s such a thing as drowning in the details — by which point you can\u2019t see the forest for the trees, to throw in another idiom — but the attitude that dismisses mere<\/i> details as unworthy of attention<\/i> needs to be reexamined.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Case 1: Higher Hiring<\/strong>
\nWhile hiring, I\u2019m looking very closely at details. If you\u2019ve spelled my name incorrectly, dropped all capitalization and punctuation while answering screening questions, or included an extra fully blank page along with your resume, I\u2019ve noticed. This is your chance to make an impression! Don\u2019t drop the details.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Case 2: Notice Notices<\/strong>
\nEspecially when communicating with a large group of people, review before publishing. If you\u2019re in need of an editor, there are plenty of enthusiastic candidates around — and probably closer than you think. Don\u2019t let this happen to you:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Fail<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Case 3: Deserving Surveys<\/strong>
\nOf course there\u2019s a survey connection here, too. From editing language to choosing the right question type, surveys offer plenty of opportunities to win and plenty of pitfalls. Make sure your single-select questions aren\u2019t asked with multi-select formats, be sure that your ranges don\u2019t overlap (Which answer range should a 20-year-old participant choose, 10-20 or 20-30?), and confirm that logic and piping options that depend on answers are supported by correctly applied mandatory settings.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I could go on and on, rolling out cliches and idioms right and left (The devil is in the details!) but the point is clear: Pay attention \u2014 your audience is, too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

(Plus, be sure to test before you launch<\/a> \u2014 you’ll be glad you did!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
