what should i put in the subject line when passing my resume through email?

Question

i don't want to use the following: job inquiry, inquiry, "x" position because i dont want to risk being automatically deleted if there is no opening. i want them to keep my information at the very least. i thought about attn: human resource but i think that's risky too. i mean, why would you call human resource if you're not looking for a job, right? any ideas? oh, and i don't have access to the employer's name. so please don't suggest that I put that in there.

Answer 2

I was going to say "put the position name - your name resume" for the e-mail subject, for example, "Sales Manager Position - John Smith Resume."

However, it seems that you are mass emailing employers without specifics. To be honest, most if not all employers getting an email from the approach you're using would simply hit "delete" when they see it.

Job hunting takes a lot of time preparing and researching the position and the employer. To have a chance for an interview, it would be nice if you can look at a job description, research the company and its culture, and tailor your resume to fit what the position is about.

Good luck with your job search. It take a lot of energy and time, but when you put in the effort you'll be able to get good returns.

Answer 3

Simple - your name!

In the actual e-mail, ask that the resumé get forwarded to HR. Generally, the resumé will get to HR. But what happens after that depends on those folks. The important thing to remember is that part of HR/Recruiting's function is to find great candidates. So the smart HR folks will read the cover letter and resumé and if they think you have potential for a current opening or some future need that they may or may not know about, they'll keep it around.

It's up to you to keep an eye out for specific postings and REMIND THEM about you when the time comes!

Good luck in your search.

Answer 4

Take it in personally. At my school, we have a 'careers' class and a lady from an employment agency said to us to never email our resumes (unless absolutely necessary) 'cos they don't tend to keep them whereas if you personally give them, resumes often get filed and brought out whenever a job is around - oh and they tend to look at them then and there.

SOME MORE TIPS FOR JOBS ARE:
My top advice for you...

* Be yourself! Be confident and be bold! No matter how you feel, make sure you do this!

* Make sure that they can tell you want the job - but at the same time, dont make yourself look desperate.

* Don't tell them that you are nervous, especially since the job is one where you will need to be confident.

* Don't be afraid to ask questions

* Let them know your skills!

* Smile

* Speak clearly and at an appropriate volume. Annunciate
your words properly.

* Dress appropriately. Maybe a pair of black pants and a buttonup shirt, or a nice long skirt and top to go.

* Let them know that you are eager to learn and are willing to take advice

* Have fun

* Arrive early!! VERY IMPORTANT!

* Make sure you are presented well - you look clean and nice and your hair is neat etc.

How long do you have until the interveiw? Maybe prepare in your head the type of things you may be asked. For this job, they could be...

* Do you listen to that radio station?

* What school do you go to? / What are you studying?

* What music do you like?

* Who do you admire?

* Why do you want the job?

* HAve you had any prior experience?

I do think that it is very important that you know why you want the job. I do not personally think you should practise, just have an idea of what to say.

Employability Skills and attributes that employers tend to look for are:

* Communication skiils
* Team Work Skills
* Problem-solving skills

* Learning skills
* Technology Skills

Make sure you act like yourself though!!!

Have you made up a career portfolio and/or a resumae?

A career portfolio provides a personal collection of materials documenting your:
* Work History (can include work experience)
* Professional developement (do you coach sports etc?)
* Achievements (awards, sports etc)
* Employability skills
* Career plans
* Job application

Include stuff like rusumaes, cover letters, certificates, reference letters, referee lists, educational achievement records, awards, previous applications and more. You don't have to go overboard.

TO prepare you should

* Research the radio statoin
* Prepare some questoins to ask to show that you know the industry
* Perhaps practise with family, but don't have it polished - make it real
* Take your job application folder with you

For the interview be:

* Punctual - at least 10 minutes early to make yourself familiar with the setting
* Well prepared - take everything you need with you
* polite - look attentive, smile and shake hands
* thoughtful - take your time when answering questions
* positive - don't downplay your achievements or anything else
* confident - ask questions
* calm - try not to get flustered, it will help you in the end!

* If you are really nervous and it is showing, tell the interviewer.

Make sure you

* Turn off your mobile

* Dress appropriatly - keep makeup, jewlery and bright colours to a minimum

* are aware of your body language and tone of voice


Possible questions could be:

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Why do you think you are suitible for the job?
Why would you like the job?
What are your strenghts/weaknesses?
Do you work well in a team?
Why should we employ you?
What can you offer us?

Try to use words such as 'achieved', 'managed' and 'improved' in your answers.

At the end, thank the interviewers by name. Make sure that you shake hands if they put their hand out. Sustain eye contact and restate your intrest. Do not ask about salary until a job offer is made

Good luck!!!!! Please email me if you want more help!

Answer 5

1st off. i wouldn't send your resume if there's no openings. because all they will do is trash it or get kicked to there spam folders. all your doing is wasting there time and yours.. i would wait till there's an opening before doing that. besides you would have to fill out an application before most company's accept your resume. but far as the subject line goes. w/ out the job position in the subject line it's treated as spam.

Answer 6

Here's a couple of ideas:

You'd want to address it to the Company's:
Manager: Human Resources Department

"May I present my resume' for immediate consideration."

"I am available for your company's opening - here's my resume'"

"Please review my attached resume' for immediate consideration"

I respectfully disagree with one of the other posters...before filling out an application you want the company to review your resume' and then, if they find you have skills they are seeking, they would invite you to come in for interviews and perhaps also to fill out the application.

Answer 7

if you don't have access to the employer's name, how on earth can you email your resume to them?

or, for that matter, why would you just blindly email out resumes that say you want to work for a company you know nothing about?
