10 Email Subject Lines To Use When Job Hunting

10 Job-Hunting E-mail Subject Lines

Crafting an email while job hunting is an important skill and can be a huge asset if done correctly.

If you’re job hunting in 2015, you’re almost surely prowling online. You might use a search engine like Indeed or go direct-to-the-source, but either way, you’re probably sending a lot of emails. The hardest part about this remote search is also the most common: never hearing back. It’s not uncommon to feel like you’re throwing application emails into the great abyss, and while this has as much to do with the volume of applicants as much as anything else, sharpening up your own presentation is one of the only ways you’ll earn yourself better results and finally get some callbacks.

To be fair, when you’re applying for a job, every aspect of your application should be on point, from the resume and cover letter to the more mundane details like when and how you should follow-up. But one of the most overlooked steps in sending out a digital application is the most important: the email subject lines you’re using. In our clickbait-driven digital world, you might think an aggressively attention-grabbing subject line is the key to getting noticed. And while that’s definitely true in part, you want to maintain your professionalism first and foremost, and at all costs. (That means don’t use ALL CAPS or exclamation points, for example.) Most of all, you want to get across as much relevant information as possible so a hiring manager or recruiter is opening the email blind.
