Apply through email? No problem.
by: Christine Zafra
The internet is the fastest vehicle when it comes to communication. A lot of companies prefer applicants to apply online since they receive the applications in a matter of seconds. Although some job aggregates do have automatic systems of delivering applications to the respective companies, some only operate manually—that is, they only function as a “listing site” and they only have a directory of employers (i.e. emails, contact numbers are listed).
The biggest dilemma people encounter is that of what to write in their emails. Always remember to keep the email concise, attach your resume if the company said so and tell your employer your purpose of applying. Keep in mind that simple and concise emails are the ones mostly being read by these busy HR managers (since they receive probably hundreds of applications everyday).
