Simple answer, unless it specifically says not to send a cover letter, then you should include one. That's the professional thing to do! So if you're sending your resume via email, the body of your email message = your cover letter. And if you're mailing it snail mail, your cover is a separate document.
It's generally acceptable to write your cover letter in the body of the email when applying for a job, especially if the job application instructions don't specifically request an attached cover letter. However, make sure to keep it concise and formatted well for easy reading.
Send your cover letter as the body of the email If the hiring manager prohibits attachments or gives no instructions on how to send your cover letter, it's best to send it as the body of the email. To do that, copy your cover letter and paste it into the email box.
Attach your cover letter to the email only if the job posting specifically requests it, especially since some companies automatically block emails with attachments to prevent computer viruses.
How to combine a cover letter and resume into one document Determine which document to add first. Revise and review both documents. Open a new document. Insert each document into the new file. Create a page break. Confirm in an email.
When clients ask us whether or not they need to include a separate cover letter when applying for a job via email, our answer is ALWAYS YES.
Use standard cover letter protocol Write your letter as the body of the email and include a salutation (use the receiver's actual name if you know it) and a standard closing.
It's generally best to submit your cover letter as a separate PDF file rather than typing it directly in the email body. Here are a few reasons why: Professionalism: A PDF maintains formatting and looks more polished, which can create a better impression.
It's generally preferred to submit the cover letter and CV as separate documents, allowing each to be reviewed independently. This ensures clarity and makes it easier for recruiters to navigate your application materials. For more advice on job application etiquette, check out my Quora Profile.
