Don’t make body email and cover letter

Never send an email without an email body, or just attach a document. Give a short message starting from greetings for company agencies, introducing yourself politely, origin of job vacancies, expected positions, education and expertise, to closing greetings. For example this example. For cover letters, we are able to briefly promote ourselves. Fill in the cover letter using work experience, suitability of majors, relevant work experience, training and professional allowances that have been followed or awards. If our cover letter is in sync with the jobdesk provided for the position we are applying for, the agency will most likely see a more complete look at our CV. So making this cover letter is crucial to be the initial impression.

Document Size Too Large

Document size that is too large will make it difficult for recruiters to open our application files. Recruiters prefer documents packaged in PDF format, rather than in editable Word formats. So convert our Word archive to PDF first before sending it. Then collect all the documents in a zip / rar form, because it will be neater and smaller in size.

Don’t Send Too Many Email Applications To The Agency

And last but not least, don’t send too many job application emails at the same time. Sometimes companies provide news with a long period of time, most likely to make us forget. When the company confirms by telephone, we will panic and find it difficult to find company information. So it is better to do the process of recording all companies to which we have submitted applications. This is also intended so that we understand which companies we have applied for or failed, so we don’t send 2 applications to the same company.
