What's the most unprofessional thing you've ever put in an email? I've never used "<3" but I did once accidentally include my personal signature instead of my professional one in an email to a client, and at the time my signature was "barely hanging on by a thread." Thankfully it was a long-term client and they laughed it off.

I have a wide range of skills, & I am a fast learner.
