This seems like the logical thing to do but maybe its not professional enough, is the email itself ok to be used as the cover letter or should I make it a seperate attachment like the CV?

The template that I am using says “Dear _____,” to begin. I could leave this off but it seems informal and like I am mass emailing facilities to get a job.

Most of the places I am applying to say to send a resume to an email address, so I don’t know the hiring person’s name. Should I just put Dear HR or Attention: HR or something?

I need to send out an email to all my co-workers (only been with the company for 2 1/2 months so not everyone knows me) letting them know that I have changed my name (and email has changed) due to my recent marriage. What should I write? Thanks!!
I was told by my boss to send out a mass email, otherwise I would not do so…which is why I really have no clue what to write :)

I’m about to graduate from college with a B.S. in psychology and I’m looking for a job as a research assistant in a lab. Most professors don’t list these jobs on job search sites so I need to email them to find out if they’re hiring. Should I send my resume in my first email, or wait to see if they’re hiring? What kinds of things should I say? These may be people I want to work with down the road in graduate school, so I need to look very professional!

When emailing a resume, cover letter, and references to an employer, should you merge all 3 of the documents into one (1) large document — to save the employer from having to download 3 separate attachments?

I just finished my interview and I want to follow up with a thank you letter. But I only have the general store’s email. Is it okay to send my letter there? Or should I send a snail mail? Any suggestions would help! Thanks!

I had an interview 3 weeks ago and have not heard anything. I sent thank you the day after the interview to the hiring manager who I interviewed with. Should I send an email to inquire on the status of the position? It is still listed on company website. Should I send email to hiring manager or recruiter who gave me first interview?

I am in Michigan and it is a tough, aggressive market. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough jobs to go around. I was thinking a week, but maybe 3 days instead? What is the protocol? I thought maybe I could send a followup email after 3 days, then call if I don’t hear? But if I call, how many days should I wait? Help!
I don’t want to come across as pusy, desperate, or aggressive. But, I do want them to remember me and to know I am interested.

If the employer does not specifiy how they would like you to send your resume, but they insist it should be done by email, do you put the cover letter in the body of the email and send the resume as an attachment? Or do you send both as an attachment? And should they be separate attachments?
