21Email Cover Letter Information
• It is just as important to write an effective cover letter when emailing your resume as it is
when mailing your resume. When you're sending an email cover letter, make sure that it is
written as well as any other correspondence you send.
• If the job posting asks you to apply via email, include your resume and cover letter as
attachments in the format requested (such as PDF or Word). Use a descriptive file name
such as “Smith_John_resume” to make it easily identifiable. Write a short message in the
email. Be polite, precise, and professional, listing what position you are applying for and
where you heard about it.
• Many employers do not accept attachments. You can copy and paste your resume into
your email message. Use a simple font and remove any fancy formatting. Simple is best
because the employer may not see a formatted messaging the same way you do. Don't
send an HTML document.
The Subject Line of Your Message
Make sure you list the position you are applying for in the Subject Line of your email address, so the
employer is clear as to what job you are applying for.
Include Your Signature
Include your name with your contact information, so it's easy for the hiring manager to get in touch
with you.
Double Check Your Letter
Make sure you spell check and check your grammar and capitalization. They are just as important in
an email cover letter as in paper cover letters.
Send a Test Message
Send the message to yourself first. If everything looks good, resend to the employer.
