career opportunities that truly fulfills
them and increase their salary in
today's video we're going to talk about
how to write a job application email
that actually gets results
first of all unless asked don't bother
with a cover letter the error of emails
I have long taken over unless you are
all specifically for a cover letter
don't bother
so tip number one let's start with ten
tips that I'm going to give you for
those job application emails okay tip
number one your email address should be
first name dot surname or something like
that
tip number two be personal don't put
dear sir slash madam and the only thing
that you're going to achieve by doing
that is that someone's going to think oh
it's probably a mass email
it's not even personal tip number three
address your letter to the line manager
not to HR if you do not find the name of
the line manager address it to a real
person in HR not a generic email you
know those generic emails they are
things like HR at company comm or you
know apply at company don't do that
don't bother it just find real people in
today's world it's easy
you've got LinkedIn you've got it's this
tons of tools okay tip number four be
professional and straight forward look
don't beat around the bush I lost count
on how many applications are received
that begin with dear sir I hope you and
your family are in good health
or dear sir how are you
it has nothing to do with anything just
tell me what you want okay so tip number
five make sure your email has no mistake
error free and is properly formatted
looks great with bullet points you know
them skip lines and different and the
use of space and make sure you use the
appropriate grammar this is the first
impression guides is very very important
tip number six your subject should be
your full name dance - sorry the job
title you're applying - don't sweat it
that's it okay tip number seven keep
your focus through out the email on the
employers needs and present yourself in
light of what he wants for the role this
is called a compelling email find out
what's really important for the job from
your research and the job description
and include them in your email as your
skills so tip number eight show the
employer how you can help the company
note that you're looking for a job that
he doesn't care or that you're currently
on a visit visa no one cares
honestly he just show the employer how
you can help it happen okay tip number
nine talk about your availability to
meet for face-to-face and /or
a phone call okay and tip number ten
finish by you know finish by always
always showing them how you can be
reached okay just make sure you put your
mobile number when so I'm just going to
give you an example here I recently
coached a nursery manager on how to
write a compelling job application email
so she's a nursery manager and after
asking her she told me that the most
important tasks for nursery manager or
director was to make sure that nursery
had full occupancy that the customer
service towards parents and children was
outstanding and that the team was
motivated and the best of them always
came out and that's the education team
so the teacher is the teacher's
assistant so we wrote an email the
subject line guess what was her full
name - nursery director position or
nursery director oh and we address it of
course directly to the nursery owner or
to the line manager so in this case
we're just going to use the example we
can say her name is Sarah okay and the
nursery manager that supplying is Aurora
so dear Sarah my name is Aurora and I
have come across your job at birth for
the nursery director role at NBC Company
I was wondering if you'd be interested
in meeting with a young and ambitious
nursery manager / director that
considers the following as the most
important objectives of a nursery
director number one achieve and maintain
full occupancy which I can testify
throughout my career number two so try
for nothing less than outstanding parent
and children satisfaction every day and
number three bring out my team's best
potential and develop each individual to
excellence I've attached my CV where you
will find my achievements in these areas
throughout my six years of experience in
the education sector in Dubai mainly
working for two of the large largest
nurseries in Dubai namely ABC children's
and XYZ private school if you feel these
achievements are in line with your
expectations and would be eager to meet
you to discuss how I could add value to
ABC company
in the meantime please feel free to call
me should you have any questions of
course my mobile number is or my mobile
number is below as a matter
thank you very revenge for the time you
will dedicate to my application best
regards Aurora zero five zero blah blah
blah the same email can be written for
any job out there just change the
compelling message accordingly for
example if you're in sales you might
want to put this kind of compelling
message so bla bla bla I was wondering
