sending materials electronically

Most cover letters and resumes are submitted electronically either through an online application or as attachments to an email.

If sending your materials through an online application process, always make sure to follow the instructions to upload your

materials provided by the employer, including file type, size, etc.

f i l e t y p e s f o r m at e r i a l s

When instructions are not provided, save your files as PDFs rather than Word or InDesign documents. This retains and secures

your intended text formatting when viewed from different computers and operating systems.

submitting materials via email

l e t t e r o f i n q u i r y o r i n t e r s t

For un-posted opportunities, you can use the email itself as your “cover letter.” This method is accepted when inquiring if an

organization is open to hosting an intern without a position posted on their website. See the following example:
