Job Searching - Sending Email
Ok so you’re just about to email a recruiter about that job you’ve seen on one of the jobs boards. But have you every considered what you put in this email?
Recruiters don’t like spam emails they can get 100’s of emails a day and you need to stand out from all the “noise” they get.
So don’t say nothing but “attached” in the body of the email, with a dangling (possibly virus-laden) word-document hanging there with a title like “john’s_cv_revision12a.doc”.
Don’t simply say “I noticed the job you posted and I am a perfect match for it… or any other positions you have.”
You need to tell the recruiter what you want to do NOT what work you’ll accept, they want to know what gets you out of bed in the morning!!!
You need to standout from all the other emails they get.
