@gradepilot: Sending your CV by email? Don't leave the email body blank. You don't need to write another cover letter in the email. Keep it short, professional, and relevant. Briefly: - State the position you're applying for. - Mention your relevant experience. - Let the recruiter know what you've attached. - End with your name and contact details. And don't forget the subject line. Make it clear enough for the recruiter to know exactly what the email is about. Your email is the first thing they see before opening your CV. Make it count.
