?? Awesome Email Subject Lines Job Seekers Are Using For Results 813 Need an email subject for a job inquiry? This is how job seekers should send resumes to recruiters over email. Photo by Jeric Santiago One of the most common job seeker frustrations is not getting a response when submitting a resume to recruiters or simply sending a job inquiry email of any kind. But for recruiters to respond in a meaningful way, they first need to read your messages. With that in mind, what can you do to improve your email's chances of getting read? I contacted recruiters following me on Twitter to ask: âOf all email you've ever had from job seekers, which had the best title?â They came through in a big way, sharing dozens of memorable, occasionally funny, subject lines that got their attention and piqued their curiosity to the point where they had to keep reading.eval Bookmark and share this list, but above all, start using it as a template for your own email messages to companies.

Rubicon Consulting, @Rubiconrecruit: âYou need me as a candidate!â by a C# programmer praveen IT Recruiter, @praveenendla02: âI am looking for opportunities, keep me in mind.â Francesca Arcuri, @p2pFrancesca: âHello⦠is it me you're looking for?â Malcolm Louth, @MalcolmLouth: âYou've won the lottery: I'm available immediately.â Chris Russell, @chrisrussell: It was something like âI should be your next Sales Executiveâ Team TCG, @TeamTCG: âReaching out to my networkâ Team TCG, @TeamTCG: âHR exec looking for next roleâ Team TCG, @TeamTCG: âAward-winning HR pro seeking opportunitiesâ Genesis HR Solutions, @MyGenesisHR: âHow can I make a contribution at Genesis HR Solutions?â Genesis HR Solutions, @MyGenesisHR: âI am highly motivated, hard working and really interested in your internship position.â Sandra A Jackson, @SandraJTResumes: They all seem to just put, âNeed help with my resume.â And I eagerly open it. New To HR, @NewToHR: â12 Things You Didn't Know About Chris.â New To HR, @NewToHR: âDon't Miss Out On This Opportunity To Hire Me. I Am Just A Phone Call Awayâ New To HR, @NewToHR: âYou were looking for that People person⦠Well, Here I Am Really Human!â New To HR, @NewToHR: âWould hiring Peter help with your team and business goals?

Anything that seems like spam will get filtered there. Something that doesn't sound like a resume or application I don't read. Rory C. Trotter Jr., @RoryCTrotterJr: The best? âHiring me will change your company becauseâ¦â I had to click it. ?? Heidi Bannister, @ArthurEdwardRec: ⦠mention being ârecommended by [trusted name]â ⦠have a role reference number ⦠or include âchampagne and cupcakesâ. I'll know they've researched our web site!! Lara Haskins 360HR, @LaraHaskins: Recruiting for interns, âSome people want to be rock stars, some people want to be superstars, but all I want is to work for XXXâ Gail Tolstoi-Miller, @GailTolstoiMill: when they do research on my website best ones are âI am addicted to Diet Pepsi tooâ or âI hate self-proclaimed experts tooâ they took time Laura Merkle, @LauraMerkle: The best email title always explains the skills of the candidate. In other words a good example is âJohn Doe Project Managerâ. Patricia H Sinacole, @psinacole: It is not that cool but â[firstname] [lastname] â" [opportunity of interest]â. Example â" âJane Doe â" CEOâ Shay Clinch, @ChezShay13: Why you should employee me Jeff Battinus, @jeffbattinus: âInterested in being a value add for [company]â. Kirk Baumann, @kbaumann: âMake a Great Decision Before Your 2nd Cup of Coffee: Hire Me (Here's Why)â Still sticks with me! Melva, @thecareercoach: Two of them/: Subject Line: (1) Hey Miss Lady (2) My Mom Said To Contact You Amy McGeachy, @AMcGeachy: Goodness, I can't say there has been a âbest' title. I can tell you the worst is âhire me'. I'm selfish, I want to know what's in it for me. âHire me' does nothing to tell me if a candidate is a fit for the job. So, I guess the best one would tell me a bit about the person⦠title, certification, etc. that would entice me to open their resume. David Oliver, @ldavidoliver: Probably one of the best subject titles I have received was, âYour Next Great Sales Hire â" I'll Show You Whyâ. Really got my attention. Cody McClelland, @TechRecruiterIT: I'm a sucker for good subject lines. âHow much does a polar bear weigh?â And then in the email they quipped âenough to break the iceâ Jeffrey W Shapiro, @JeffreyWShapiro: âConfidentially: I work for your direct competitorâ Jeffrey W Shapiro, @JeffreyWShapiro: âI only need 3 minutes of your timeâ Jeffrey W Shapiro, @JeffreyWShapiro: âWhat my resume doesn't tell youâ Claudia Lucio, @RecruitingGeek: âI'm Your Next Superstar; here's why.â Subject lines like this might pique the curiosity of a recruiter. Stephan von Malortie, @vonmalortie: I could say what would raise my interest: âPut me in a team rather than an interviewâ. HR Chickâ¢, @HRCultureClub: âPassionate, Leadership, Superwoman Extraordinaireâ. Caught my attention ?? Shannon Pritchett, @SourcingShannon: âHi, it's me, your LinkedIn friendâ Steven G. Davis, @Recruit4u: âWill do anything for my bossâ Steven G. Davis, @Recruit4u: âI was valedictorian of my classâ â" a couple all-time bests!! Sean Koppelman, @talentmagnet: âRare Talent Requires Exceptional Representationâ. It was eye-catching, distinguished the job seeker + played to my ego. All of which made me curious to open the attached resume. Francois Guay, @GuayFrancois: âResults Guaranteedâ, followed by a cover letter for a specific opportunity a targeted resume with examples of success. Monica Bua, @monica_bua: I will give you my immediate no's which are: âseeking employmentâ, âlooking for opportunitiesâ, etc. It's best to call out a connection immediately like âFellow Anderson Alumnusâ or âSandy Gould suggested we connectâ. Finally the other strategy that works well is to have someone in common introduce and recommend a candidate. That recommendation will merit a quicker response. Erica Dionn Wright, @Ewright1285: âHead Sales of Poultryâ âEvil Geniusâ âCat Herder / Maxwell's Demonâ âProfessional Dreamerâ âArkitechtâ âJugglerâ âEscape Artistâ âHereticâ âCode Janitorâ âMad Scientistâ âCompany Psychicâ.

If you're trying to be witty or clever, or to write something outlandish to get the email opened, it might not always translate well Ibro Palic, @ibro_palic: âFor Ibro; referred by [firstname] [lastname]â It's the first one I opened that day, the guy didn't make it but I gave him a shot. Gail Houston, @ghouston: This is one of my favs, tells me who they are, what they want and why open: âJohn Doe Product Manager from Amazon, Bay Area applying for #####â Wesley Madziva, @WeszMadz: âUnemployed Graduate seeking Employmentâ CFM Recruitment, @CFMRecruitment: âI don't think outside the box, because for me there is no box' ??

Bonus: what not to do Martin Dangerfield, @MDangerfield: âI know where you liveâ â¦from a recruiter person who as it turned out did know where I lived along with a bunch of other information. mary simmons, @marysimmonshr: âI need a job please hire me!â I try to caution job seekers not to act desperate but this one missed the memo Bonus 2: when recruiters email you Daniela Borquez, @Dani_Borquez: I recruit a lot on LinkedIn and what I've found out is that not mentioning the company in the title has a high response [from candidates] for executive level positions. Titles such us âExecutive Director, Digitalâ or âMedia Sales Managerâ make people curious. For younger crowds, I've experimented with something like âIt's time to boost your career!â without much success as simply âsales account executiveâ Bonus 3: what if you don't have the recruiter's email address? Timur Daudpota wrote The Most Complete Guide to Finding Anyoneâs Email, and it includes some tricks that I use and others I'll definitely try. Very handy.
