Sample Email Cover Letter Inquiring About Job Openings

If you are sending speculative emails to companies looking for potential new roles then you need to know how to lay out your email and be able to sell yourself to a company and provide them with the information they will need to consider employing you or at very least interviewing you when they are not actually recruiting.

To do this email well you will need to do your research carefully. You will need to look at the company website and look at what type of people work there, what roles they normally recruit for and how you fit into that ideal. Your email will need to tempt them to interview you with a view to creating a new role for you and that is not an easy task when so many businesses are making cut backs.

If you have all your information ready, please see the below example email as an introduction to a company.
