Here are a few vital tips.
Make sure your email address contains your name.
Why? Take a look for yourself. Which of these email addresses looks more professional:
Apologies to the real john.smith@gmail.com!
This is really easy.If you’re using Gmail or Outlook you can easily enter your full name in the Options sections. And seriously, we know of employers who, faced with a thousand CVs, have deleted hundreds of emails based purely on the email address.
Make sure your grammar is good.
Using sentences like:
Having seen details of vacancy Junior web designer OR
im looking 4 ajob:)
are poor English and will automatically get you deleted from a recruiter’s Inbox. Believe us, we've seen hundreds of emails with sentences like those!
If you have a gap period in your CV, don’t say “Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to work professionally after that.â€
It doesn’t create the right impression and is a sure-fire way to get your email dumped without any further consideration. Try something positive like "I took three months off to pursue my love of sailing".
