Introductory email to potential employer
These days, to get a job, you must catch an eye right away. You might first meet a possible boss in an email. In this email, act like you’re shaking hands – and do well to stand out from many other people who want the job. You’ve got to write well, think hard, and look at every detail. Let’s look at what makes a good “hello” email.
Subject Line: Make Them Want to Read More
Your subject line is a big chance to get the reader’s eye. Keep it short, but make it fun too. Say which job you want and something cool about yourself to make them want to know more. Like, “Skilled Seller Ready for [Job] – Time to Win Big!”
Try to find the boss’s name to use in the email. If you can’t, then “Dear Hiring Boss” is ok. But don’t use old and cold “To Whom It May Concern.”
Start with who you are a bit. Say how you found the job or if you both know the same person. If they feel like they know you, they’ll remember you better. Say something like, “I was happy to see the [Job] post on [where you found it], and I really like [something about the job or company].”
Show What You’ve Got
Talk about you – what you’re good at, what you’ve done, and the big wins you’ve had. Be clear and give facts when you can. This is your chance to show how you can help them do well. For example, “In five years of online selling, I made brand look good and money go up by 30% with special plans and search website tricks.”
Tell them why you’re into the job and the company. Point out things like their culture, what they stand for, or cool things they’ve done that you like. Saying you care can go a long way and shows you mean to stick around. Like, “I’m moved by [Company] thinking new and caring for Earth, and I’m keen to bring my skills to your strong team.”
Let Them Know What’s Next
End your email by saying what you hope happens next. Could be a talk, a time to look at your CV, or to link up online. Make what you want clear and easy for them. Being forward shows you mean business. For example, “I’d be happy to talk about how I can meet what [Company] needs. Can we have a quick call soon?”
Wrap up with a nice “Sincerely” or “Best Wishes,” and your name. Keep it good and simple. Say again that you thank them for their time and you’re into the job. This leaves them with a good thought of you and keeps it all nice and neat.
Double-check your email for slips, mix-ups, or silly mistakes before sending it. A clean email shows you care about the little things. You could even ask a friend or someone you look up to to read it for their thoughts too.
Making a top-notch “hello” email to a boss takes thinking about each part. From making them want to open it, to saying bye at the end, it all helps them see you as the one for the job. Stick to these tips and put in your own style and fire, and you could be the one they pick for the dream job.
