Job application and recruiting email templates

Job applications, and the thank you after an interview.

A job application email should say which role, why you, and what is attached, in that order and inside 200 words. The reader is scanning for fit, not reading a cover letter twice. Keep the formatting plain enough to survive any inbox.

Who these are for

Written with job seekers, recruiters, hiring managers in mind, and kept plain enough to send from a personal Gmail account to the people you already work with.

Use this template in Gmail

Copy the HTML above and paste it into Mailplate, the free Gmail extension that inlines the CSS so the layout survives sending. Or edit the wording directly in the preview and insert it into your message.
