Jiro Kitaguchi

Professional, concise, and restrained.

Polite and courteous, with a mild warmth.

Informative rather than persuasive; the primary goal is to share updates or a situation clearly.

Tone is neutral-to-positive, with occasional measured enthusiasm (signaled mainly by exclamation marks rather than emotive language).

Generally professional and polished, aligned with a corporate / LinkedIn context.

Language is standard and grammatically correct, with very little slang or casual phrasing.

Contractions are used (I’m, I’ve, I’d), which soften the tone slightly without making it informal.

Moderate energy. Announcements of good news are slightly upbeat.

Even when dealing with negative news (layoffs), the tone remains composed, dignified, and forward-looking.

Emotional expression is contained and understated (e.g., “I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support” instead of something dramatic).

Clear statement of purpose in the first sentence: “I’m happy to share that I’m starting…”, “Yes, I’ve been impacted by the layoffs…”

Gratitude is expressed explicitly when appropriate (“I’d like to thank…”, “Thank you in advance…”).

No rhetorical questions, no metaphors, no humor, no storytelling embellishments.

No overt persuasion; the author assumes goodwill from the network.

First-person singular (“I’m”, “I am”, “I’d like to thank”).

Second-person plural or generic “you” is used when thanking or asking for support (“your support”, “you can offer”).

Reader is addressed collectively (“Hi everyone”) rather than intimately.

Requests are polite and indirect: “I would appreciate your support”, “Thank you in advance” instead of imperative commands.

No direct imperative CTAs like “Contact me” or “Share this”.

would appreciate your support

Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer.
