O ne of the easiest blunders to commit when

applying for a job happens while emailing a
resume, as simple as it does actually seem.

Its relative simplicity and ability to get looked

down upon is why it’s one of the costliest
mistakes you can make while sending your
resume to an employer.

How to Email a Resume to An

Employer

Every job listing today does come with

instructions and the employers expect you to
follow all the instructions to the letter.

In fact, some hold the belief that the recruiters

start judging your personality and resume
based on your ability to keep to all the
instructions included in the job listing.

Therefore, no matter how excited you are to be

sending out your resume, patiently watch out
for the instructions and follow them to the
letter. You should also be very mindful of what
to say while emailing your resume.

A lot of people practically accompany their

resume submission with totally wrong
information and as a consequence, their
resume does not get opened at all and gets
dumped in the trash.

Like every other random email you send daily,

you should have an email resume subject as
it’ll increase your chances of being read by
over fifty percent according to a recent study.

Your email subject should be appropriate for

the occasion and should look something like
this: “Proficient Content Writer seeks a
Content Executive position.”

A title such as this: “Content Writing resume

for application” on the other hand looks like
something cooked up by an unserious fellow,
sounds generic and therefore the recruiter will
most definitely not open the email not to talk
of looking at it twice.

7 Tips for How for Emailing a Resume

1. Use of an appropriate email subject.

2. Address the recruiter by his first name
(it gives a human touch to it).
3. Tell the recruiter who you are and the
reason you’re contacting them.
4. Relay how much value you’d be
bringing to the company.
5. End your email body with how eager
you are to meet in person.
6. Add your contact details, apart from
the email address of course.
7. Attach your Resume and Cover Letter
saved in a PDF format to the email.

Email Body for Sending a Resume

We’re going to be very practical with this, as

I’m definitely going to show you a sample
email for a job application with resume. But
before that, let’s take a look at the perfect
email body for sending a resume.

The perfect email body for sending resume is a

well-structured sneak peek of your entire job
application.

While reading through it, the recruiter should

be impressed and left hungry for more thereby
leading to the ultimate reaction of wanting to
read through the rest of the package with
immediate effect.

Lots of people make the mistake of simply

pasting their cover letter as the body of their
email, but this is actually very wrong because
in most cases, recruiters do not go through the
entire cover letter, so imagine that same cover
letter in the body of your email, would you
read through it if you were your own recruiter?

Most definitely not I think. Your email resume

body is a lot better if left short and interesting.

Here is the order an email for a job

application with resume should
follow:

1. Proficient Content Writer seeks a

Content Executive position with ABC
Airways.

2. Dear (Recruiter),

3. Please find attached to this email, a

copy of my resume and cover letter for
the Content Executive Position at ABC
Airways.

4. As the 2019 winner of the Common

Wealth Writers Prize for Content Writing,
with a rich work experience spanning
three continents and a 98% success rate
in previous projects, I am poised to bring
my 5+ years of experience to play in
driving your marketing content success
rate up to 85% in no time.

5. I look forward to a face-to-face

meeting in order to be able to share my
thoughts and ideas on the recently
completed German Marketing
Campaign and how a higher success
rate can be achieved.

6. Sincerely, (Name and Contact of

Sender).

7. Attachments.

While all this is said and done, it is still

incredibly easy to flunk while sending a resume
email to a recruiter as surprising as that might
sound.

But, another relatively easier error to commit

while sending the email is doing it from a very
unprofessional email address such as
“hotguy94@hotmail.com” or
“prettychick95@gmail.com”, believe me, if you
do this, your email will never be opened and
your resume will definitely not live to see the
light of the day.

In order to cross this dangerous border, you’d

be better off with a much more mature and
professional email address like the one which
combines your first and last name.

If it’s already taken then simply combine it with

a couple of figures such as
“Adamsmith56@gmail.com” or
“Reginadaniels77@hotmail.com” and you’d be
good to go.

One of the most important things about

writing a resume and emailing it to a recruiter
is to ensure that is it tailored perfectly to fit the
job in question.
