I'm applying for an internship that requires me to send my resume to an email address. Should I write my 'cover letter' spiel in the body of the email or attach it as a second file?

Depends, do you want it to come off as something you send to everyone, or more personal to the decision maker.

email body if you think the email is going to go to a person who is making decisions and not just file it or hand it off

body of the e-mail

10 years ago I would have said a separate file... but now I would say in the body of the email.

Why not add it as page 1 of the PDF?

I asked my roommate's gf and the last she heard is that you can put it in the email body in addition to attaching it. I might do that and cover my bases.

i ran into this recently and put like a cover-cover letter in the email boddy, b/c i was pretty sure the email was not going directly to the person doing the evaluation. it was awkward to say the least.

they would just forward it to whoever needed to see it

I put it in the body and attached it. I figure that will just get sent forward (hopefully ) but depending on how the HR person does it I guess determines what and how they forward...ie, if they just forward the attachments or the whole thing.Kinda hard to put humor in a job application CL, isn't it?
