Online job application is the trend today for many job seekers. In this type of job application, you don’t have to go to the company and submit your resume personally; you can just send it through email. Below are some tips that could guide you in applying for a job through email.
Create a cover letter
The cover letter should be written in the body of your email message. Before you write a cover letter, it is important to know the different types of cover letters. One type is the letter of inquiry. Your main purpose in writing this type of cover letter is to make a query regarding the job that would fit your educational background and skills. Another type of cover letter is the job application letter. This type of cover letter is specifically made as a response to the job posting. In this letter, you have to show your talent and skills that you think important for the position that you want.
Customize your resume
To make your resume attention-grabbing, you have to customize it. You have to include those skills and experiences which you think are relevant to the position you are applying to. It is best to use empowering words all throughout your resume. But before you send your resume, you have to ask first if the company requires you to attached it or directly paste it into your email message.
Do NOT forget the subject line
Your subject line is very important because it gives the recipient a hint what your email is all about. You can restate the exact job title you are applying to for your subject.
