10 Tips You Must Use to Get Your InternationalTeacher Application Emails Read
Author: Kelly Blackwell of TeachOverseas.info 
How many emails to you get in a day? Around recruiting time, recruiters get inundated withhundreds of emails from hopeful applicants - in addition to what they are already getting.Make sure your email gets read using these crucially important tips...When you send in your application pack by email with all you documents attached, your goalis not only to get your email opened and read, you also want the recruiter to open yourdocuments and read them too. So, how do you get your emails read? You use thesecrucially important tips to make the recruiter WANT to read your email!
1. Use a meaningful subject line.
I suggest you include the specific teaching position you are applying for and your name. Byusing this style of subject line you are immediately identifying it as an email from anapplicant and the recruiter will expect to see a teacher application when they open the email.Also, this will make it easier for the recruiter to find your email in their inbox should they needto refer to it again.
2. Send your email messages in plain text.
Many email software does not recognise emails sent in .html format. For example, my emailclient strips all the code and pictures out of the body of my emails for security reasons. So,while these formats can spice up your email and make it look attractive, this will work againstyou if the code pops up in the recruiters email client. Keep it simple and make sure youremail is sent out in plain text. Any pictures you want to send should either be left out orattached separately.
3. Avoid using emoticons.
While those little winks and smiles are cute and useful in conveying non-verbalcommunication clues in personal emails, they have no place in a business email.
4. Write formally, without contractions or short cuts.
LOL, OTOH, and BTW are not appropriate in this setting, remember that you are sending aformal letter asking the recruiter to consider you for a teaching job in an international school.This may seem obvious, it certainly does to me, but I was shocked to receive an email
recently from an individual that had ‘u’ instead of ‘you’. I was less than impressed.
