What do you put in your application email?

Okay, so it will be an accompanying email. What exactly do you put in there?

DSS is a leading Overseas Recruitment Company with an extensive experience in providing manpower solutions to many well-known organizations across the Globe

Basically it is simple:

Hello, my resume and letter are in the attachment, greetings.

 

But of course you don't score bonus points with that. More is needed for that.

 

Below we take you through the perfect accompanying application email step by step.

 

How do you write an accompanying email with your application?

An accompanying e-mail consists of a number of fixed building blocks:

 

The recipient's email address

The subject line

The attachments (CV and letter of application)

The salutation of your accompanying email

The opening of your email

The reference to the attachments

The closing of your accompanying application email

The recipient's email address

Who is your application going to? To a person or to a department? Do you have the name of the recruiter or HR manager?

 

Check the e-mail address of the recipient and copy it without errors in the addressing of your e-mail message.

 

The subject line

With a clear subject line you ensure that it is immediately clear what your email is about. Creativity is not necessary, rather not even.

 

Just make it clear that you are applying and state the position and - if required - a vacancy number. Add your name if you have an e-mail address that does not (fully) contain your name.

 

Application email subject examples:

 

Application Graphic Designer

Application Cook – Antoine van Weert

Application Nurse (vacancy number 2022-134)

Open application physiotherapist – Sven de Bruin

The attachments (CV and letter of application)

Attach the pdf files of your resume and cover letter. “Yeah,” I hear you think. But you won't be the first to send his application by email and discover two seconds later that he forgot to add the attachments. Is messy. Do not you want to.

 

Provide clear file names. For example:

 

Eric dens_cv_2022.pdf

 

Furi dens_Translator_cv_2022.pdf

 

Geert Pennings_Application letter_2022.pdf

 

Geert Pennings_Translator_application letter_2022.pdf

 

The salutation of your accompanying email

In most cases you have a name. You should also mention that name in the salutation of your accompanying e-mail. If you don't know a name, choose a more general salutation.

 

Choose a salutation that suits the company culture and you. You can choose from Best, Hello and Dear.

Some examples for the salutation of your email:

Hello Mrs Kladsen,

Dear Mr Ibglahini,

Dear selector,

Hello recruitment team,

Dear Kim,

Hello M.M. the Great,

Dear Martin,

The opening - how do you start an application email?

Unlike the opening of your cover letter, the opening of your cover email doesn't have to be all that exciting. You have probably already done your utmost to be original and creative in your application letter, you don't have to do that again.
