How to write a good motivational email? - The Student

Advantage: sending an application by email is quick. Disadvantage: it is fast… Sent with a simple click, facilitating a less academic language, the email should not make you forget the basics: you are not addressing a friend but a company or a recruitment agency. And – need we remind you? – this is a message containing your hope of getting a job. Without using bombastic language, take care of the form.

Avoid the simple “Here is my CV”

You have two choices for sending your application: either attach your cover letter and your CV, which is often requested, or introduce in the body of your message a summary of your cover letter, which can be qualified of “motivational email”. A third option, rather recommended, amounts precisely to not choosing and to doing both: an accompanying email + a “real” cover letter and a CV in attachments. A laconic “Here is my CV”, if it is not rare, is not sufficient. Conjugueur by l'Etudiant/Bescherelle

What should your support email contain?

“I invite each candidate to specify at least in the message accompanying their CV the position concerned and the company that is recruiting and those who feel the soul of a writer to write a few lines of context and motivation if it's not too much to ask”, jokes Laurent Hyzy, headhunter, on his blog entitled “Le recruitement tout simples”. failing that, the accompanying text of the CV can play an important role in the recruitment process and weigh in the balance.

Commented examples of emails

Example n°1: response to an ad

Sir, Sales Engineer, I am sending you by this email my application for the position offered by your company/firm (reference of the offer and/or title of the job offer). pay attention to it. (+ polite formula)

This is a minimum, but if the candidate has attached their more detailed cover letter as an attachment, it may be sufficient. It's up to you, depending on the job offer, to choose to present one or two elements that can mark the mind of the recruiter, in particular by indicating the exact title of your position, especially if it corresponds exactly to that of the offer. , the number of years of experience…

Example n°2: sending an unsolicited application

Sir, I saw on (name of a social network) that you were going to launch a recruitment program for sales engineers to support the development of your new activity (name of activity). Sales engineer, I specialized on the management of innovative projects in the automotive field and am, after a three-year experience in my current company, looking for a new professional opportunity. I'm interested in your company's development prospects and I would really like to talk with you about the profiles of the positions you have identified. I enclose my CV so that you can evaluate the correspondences with my experiences and my skills. In the meantime, please accept…

This hard-hitting accompanying email proves that chance has no place in this sending: the candidate is on the lookout for the evolution of the company in question, which allows him to anticipate his needs. Less tedious to read in the body of the message than a long cover letter, it gets straight to the point.
