Tips on e-mailing resumes


Tips on e-mailing - from my Experience

an HR who receives thousands of resumes daily

Today sending resumes through e-mails is the most effective & fastest way
of job hunting. If you notice your resume getting rejected frequently and
inadequate responses to your emails, go through the following ten tips to
increase the effectiveness of your resume.

1. While applying for a job, as far as possible try to put the company's
mailID in the 'TO' column instead of keeping it in the 'CC' or
'BCC' column.

2. Do not keep any other company's mailID in the 'CC' of the same
mail.

3. If necessary you can keep your own mailID in the 'CC' of the same
mail.

4. While sending resumes to many E-mail Ids at the same time, keep all the
addresses in the 'BCC' of the mail which will not be visible for the
recipients. Also put your own mailID in the 'TO' column.

5. You can paste your resume in the mail Text or can be attached as a document
unless it is specifically mentioned.

6. While applying for any company's notifications, do follow the
instructions word by word.

7. When you are asked to write any particular 'subject line', write
exactly what is being asked to do. This is Very very important because today all
the mail boxes are attacked by spam & virus mails and the recipient will be
filtering your mails automatically/manually based on the mail subject only.

For eg. When you are asked to write the subject 'Software
Engineer-Bangalore", write exactly that and do not write "I am
applying for the post of Software Engineer - Bangalore"

8. Also try to write the important part of your subject at the beginning
because in the recipient's mail box the longest subjects will be truncated
and only the first part will be displayed.

For eg. Instead of writing 'My Freshersworld.com registration no. is
cse12345' try writing 'cse12345 - Freshersworld.com Registration
no.'. Please note here that the company will be looking only for your
registration no. and it is better if you write just " cse12345 ".

9. Pls note that all your casual mails with the subject ' Freshers
Resume' or 'Registration details' will be summarily deleted and do
not spend time on sending such mails where the notification asks you to put
specific 'subject'.

10. Do not send the mail 3 or 4 times in order to make sure it reaches
correctly which may irritate the recipient. Instead, in the first mail itself
put your own mailID in the 'BCC' and check if the mail is received
properly.

Ready-mix concrete

Ready-mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted transit mixers . This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. The first ready-mix factory was built in the 1930s, but the industry did not begin to expand significantly until the 1960s, and it has continued to grow since then. Ready-mix concrete is sometimes preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion. However, using a pre-determined concrete mixture reduces flexibility, both in the supply chain and in the actual components of the concrete. The leading ready-mix concrete supplier worldwide is the Mexican concrete company Cemex ; its main competitor is France -based Lafarge Ready Mixed Concrete is also referred as the customized concrete products for commercial purpo

Structural engineering

Structural engineering is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right.[1] Structural engineers are most commonly involved in the design of buildings and large nonbuilding structures[2] but they can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, vehicles or any item where structural integrity affects the item's function or safety. Structural engineers must ensure their designs satisfy given design criteria, predicated on safety (e.g. structures must not collapse without due warning) or serviceability and performance (e.g. building sway must not cause discomfort to the occupants). Structural engineering theory is based upon physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different landscapes and materials. Structural engineering design utilises a relatively sma
