Sending resume/cover letter as an attachment:
Use a professional email address such as your UC Merced email
Attach your resume/cover letter as a Microsoft Word or a PDF document
Include your first and last name in the filename when attaching a file
Make your subject line informative, example: “Jon Wood’s Research Analyst Resume”
Include your name, position applying for, and contact information in the email
Run spell check and review your documents/email for any grammatical errors
Sending resume/cover letter in the body of an e-mail message:
Include your name and the position you are applying for in the subject line
Include a brief introduction about yourself in the email
Below your introduction, paste or write your cover letter
Add your resume a couple of spaces below the cover letter

Don’t use bold, underlining, bullets, different fonts, colored text, or html codes
When leaving a signature make sure it is written and not a signature font
Scanning your resume/cover letter:
Some large employers and companies use resume database tracking systems. They scan
incoming documents (resumes and cover letters) into their database and when they have
openings for positions, they are able to retrieve resumes and cover letters relevant to keywords.
Companies will often indicate on their website if they utilize this technique.
