Sending an email to a person who may give you a job is a key point when you are looking for work. A good email can make a space for you and put you ahead of others. Here’s a way to write a strong email to a person who might hire you, with main parts to shape how you write it.
The first thing they will see is the email’s subject part. Keep it short, to the point, and about the job you want. Don’t just say “Job Apply”. Say something like, “Ready Marketing Boss Looking for New Work” or “Want Software Builder Job – Jane Doe”.
Say hi in your email with their name. Use “Dear [First Name]” or “Dear Mr./Ms. [Last Name]”. If you don’t know if they’re a man or woman, use their whole name. Saying hi this way shows you looked into who they are and their work.
Tell Who You Are
Your first small part should be about who you are. Talk about who you are, the work you want, and where you heard about the job. This tells them why you are writing right away.
“I’m Jane Doe, and I’m reaching out about the Marketing Manager job on your work site. With five years in digital marketing, I’m keen to bring my skills to your team.”
Middle Parts: Show Why You’re Good
In the main part of your email, talk about your skills and how they fit what the job needs. Here you can talk about what you are good at, what you did before, and big things you did. Give clear examples of what you have done.
“In my last work as a Marketing Expert, I brought up our online talk by 35% and ran a thing that made our sales go up by 20% in half a year. I know I can bring good planning and making things to your group.”
End Part: Show You Want It and What Comes Next
End by saying you really want the job and the work the company does. Say you would like to talk more and suggest a meeting. Also, give the ways they can talk to you, so it’s easy for them to call you.
“I’m so up for joining your group and adding to your new works. I’d be glad to talk more about how I can help and what you aim to do. You can write to me at [your email address] or call me at [your phone number] when you can. Thanks for looking at me.”
End and Sign Off: Keep It Smart
End your email in a smart way. Use “Sincerely,” “Best regards,” or “Thank you.” Below that, put your full name and, if you have it, links to your work on LinkedIn or your own site.
Check your email well before you send it. Look for wrong spelling or words, and make sure everything is right and looks good. A clean email with no mistakes shows you care and are careful.
Follow-Up: Don’t Just Wait
If you don’t get a word back in a week or two, you can send another short, nice email. This keeps you in their mind and shows you still want the job.
“Dear [First Name],
I hope this note finds you fine. I want to check back on my last email about the Marketing Manager job. I’m still very keen to be part of your team and wonder if there’s news about my chance. Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Jane Doe”
By doing these things and writing your email well, you can leave a great mark on someone who might hire you. This can up your chance to get the work you want.
