The subject line of your email is the first thing a recruiter sees. A clear and concise subject line can make the difference between your email being opened promptly or overlooked.

Best Practices for Writing Email Subject Lines

  • Follow Provided Instructions: Always check the job posting for any specific subject line
    instructions.
  • Include Your Name and the Job Title: This helps the recruiter immediately identify the
    purpose of your email.
  • Mention Job Reference Number: If the job listing includes a reference number, include it in
    your subject line.
  • Keep It Professional and Concise: Avoid using informal language or unnecessary words.
  • Specify the Purpose: Clearly state that the email contains your job application or resume.

Sample Subject Lines

  • Application for [Job Title] – [Your Full Name]
  • Resume for [Job Title] – [Your Full Name]
  • [Job Title] Application – [Your Full Name]
  • Applying for [Job Title] – [Your Full Name]
  • [Job Title] – [Your Full Name] Resume Submission

Additional Tips

  • Use Keywords: Incorporate keywords from the job description to align with the role.
  • Avoid Generic Phrases: Phrases like “Job Application” without specifics may not stand out.
  • Proofread: Ensure there are no typos or errors in your subject line.
