How to send resume via e-mail

In our time the Internet can without exaggeration be called the main source of information on vacancies and the primary means of communication with the employer. The vast majority of cases the application takes the form of e-mails to the address of the employer and attached to that summary. And it is from this step depends, will there be a further interaction with the candidate.

You will need

computer;
- access to the Internet;
- e-mail program or a browser;
- e-mail;
- the email address of the employer;
- summary in electronic form.

Instruction

All contacts of the employer that it deems it necessary to disclose, can be found in the vacancy announcement. Email them to be sure: often employers prefer not to divulge the phone to protect itself from calls for the most part obviously unsuitable candidates (and there will always be much more than the vacant seats).

If the source of information about jobs was the company website, email her HR unit must be either in the description of specific jobs, either in the section on career.

It is best to copy it directly from the source and paste in the appropriate field of the letter.

In the box for the theme, specify the kind of addressing. For example: "applying for..." or "CV for the position...".

The recipient should see that was not spam but a request for his interest in the subject. In addition, it will give more chances that your email will pass through spam filter.

Don't forget to attach the CV file with the help of a special button ("Attach file", "Attachement" or otherwise close in meaning).

Send to the employer a blank email with the attached summary has long been considered bad form. Use the message body for the cover letter. The purpose of this paper is to convince the employer that it makes sense to spend time opening the CV file, and immediately delete your message.

If you really have nothing to say, you can use the option: "Hello! Please consider my candidacy for the vacant position... and to see my resume in the attached file. Sincerely, ..."

Even this banal and formulaic variant looks much better than a message without this text.

Before you send your letter, check it out. Make sure that the text is free from grammatical errors. And if the language is not in trouble (which in itself is not a crime, but in this case wrong), enter it in MSWord. Now though not the best helper, but even worse - even without him.

Check whether the attached summary, outdated or focused on a particular profession or position. If something is wrong, replace.

Only when you are sure that everything is as it should be, the letter can be considered ready to ship.

Note

A common mistake applicants: name the file with a summary just resume.doc. And the employer can get millions of emails containing an attachment with the same name. Well, and how to identify when all responses for a job usually saved in the same folder? It is better to use additional identifiers: name and surname plus job title or position, under which is a specific summary (if you are interested in multiple positions, a summary for each should be separate and highlight strengths most relevant to this position and bring it to the forefront of in-demand it skills and experience).

Useful advice

Do not send resume in the body of the message, except when requested by the employer.
When you use for a resume MSWord is better to keep the file available for the old version of the editor. It will open and new, which the employer may not be (and there are many, including very respectable companies), and the previous variations of the program.
