adressing interviewer

<p>i emailed my interviewer and called her ms._______, but she replied and signed with her first name? do i now call her by her first name?</p>

<p>It’s always good to use an interviewer’s title unless directly invited to use an interviewer’s first name, so “Ms.” would still be appropriate.</p>

<p>ughh I already responded to one email and addressed her by first name because I thought it’d be ok…I’m being awkward before the interview’s even started.</p>

<p>I need to reply to her again, would it be weird to switch to “Ms. [name]”? I just feel really awkward using titles in emails where there’s a casual tone.</p>

<p>Sire and Madam generally worked very well for me.</p>

<p>More formal is always safe. Most adults have their first names in their e-mails.</p>

<p>If she signed the message with just her first name (as opposed to first and last), then I’d take that as an invitation to use her first name.</p>

<p>In any case, don’t feel too bad about it. It’s not that big a deal, and you can easily go back to Ms. if you decide you need to.</p>

<p>Ya, I’ve always used “Mr.” and “Ms.” but a couple of my interviewers have been really young (like graduated in 2007 or 08) and I feel kind of awkward. But I figure it’s better to be too polite than not. lol</p>
