Writing Resume Cover Letters

Amanda Said:

Emailing cover letters: body of the email or as an attachment?

We Answered:

It may be best to use the email body for your cover letter, as an attachment may never be downloaded/read. Your resume has the most formatting, so the attachment will keep its appearance intact. Cover letters, not so much, so the text of the email is fine. If you do make both the letter and resume attachments, then treat the body of the email like a fax cover sheet:
Dear soandso,
Please accept the attached resume and cover letter as my expressed interest in joining your company as its next xxxxx. I am certain that my ## years of experience in this industry will be an asset to your business goals. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a personal interview, please call me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Bill Jones
