ok to refer to recruiters by their first name only?

[skim milk]

when exchanging e-mails, do you refer to them by their first name?

I try to be formal with them until I develop a more casual relationship or they tell me to just call them by their first name (usually happens first).

So if I was e-mailing them before they hired me, no, I wouldn't address them by their first name just yet.

I usually just refer to them as they refer to me. If they start out with "James," I'll start out with their first name. If they start with my full name or last name, I do that back.

I believe the OP is talking about corporate recruiters not military recruiters you're speaking of. Now go finish your homework.

I could be wrong but I don't think he had service recruiters in mind.

yeah, them too. lol. i wish i had homework. the college protecto-bubble always appealed to me, but economic responsibilities put a bit of the kybosh on that. love the science channel, though.

How did she address you?

Call her by her full name or by Ms. Lastname or Dr. Lastname (or whatever title is accurate.) If she refers to you by your first name in the email, it would not be inappropriate to call her by her first name.

I refer to them by their 1st name. Then again I'm an older dude.

You can't be old enough if you're still using "dude".

If she put her full name then I'd refer to them by their first name. To me, it shows confidence.
