Subject Line
Role title plus your full name is the safest structure.
Short Message
Keep the email body clear and short instead of writing a full essay.
Attachments
Attach the CV as a PDF and only include extra files when they are relevant.
Filename
Use a clean filename with your name and, when useful, the target role.
Suggested subject lines
Marketing Specialist Application - Jane Smith
Internship Application - Alex Brown

Pre-send checklist
- Is the CV attached as a PDF?
- Is the file name professional and clear?
- Is the message short and free of errors?
- Did you double-check the employer name and role title?
Good practice
- Use a brief greeting and the exact role name
- Send only the files the employer needs
- Rename the CV file before sending it
- Mirror the wording used in the job posting
Common mistakes
- Leaving the subject line empty
- Sending “CV attached” with no context
- Attaching multiple messy file versions
- Using file names like final_cv_v2_last.pdf
