How To Apply For A Job Via Email by pappyG: 6:38pm On Oct 05, 2016
Please I need help on how to apply for a job via email.

Should the body of the Email be a full Application/Cover letter or just a short description of oneself? I have been adopting the latter format, buh invite for interviews has been kinda low.

I really need your advice so as to make the necessary adjustment

There is not a single way of applying for jobs via email. In some cases you can just attach your CV and type the job position on the subject bar say for instance "Application For Inventory Officer" then you send.
So it all depends on the instructions on the body of the job descriptions, you tailor your mail to what the potential employer wants.
In some cases they will either ask you to paste your cover or application letter on the body of the mail and in other times to be sent as attachment.
Now when you are asked to attach CV and Cover Letter, it is best to include both as a single attachment unless it is stated that you should send both separately. In a case where you send the CV and Cover Letter as a single attachment, then you would need to comment on the body of the mail in this manner below
"Dear Recruitment Manager,
Kindly find attached my CV and Cover Letter in a single document as requested"
I hope you understand my explanations.

Thanks a lot for this. So in cases when a Cover/Application letter is not explicitly requested for, one could just attach the CV and send without adding anything to the body of the mail?

Exactly but please don't forget to use the job position as the subject of the mail and always read the instructions carefully, by doing so you will know what is expected of you and the format to take.
