Fellow translators, I am seeking your opinion on email applications to potential clients.
When you write an email expressing interest in working with a specific translation company, do you:
a) highlight your qualifications in the body of the email and attach your resume
or
b) highlight your qualifications in the body of the email and end it with e.g. "If you are interested in using my services, please respond and I will send you my detailed resume along with my rates"?
In today's hectic work environment it is easy for a large email (with attchments) to get deleted, so which approach is the best?
Thanks in advance for your views,
Toralf
It depends on the case or situation.
