Gettting International School Recruiters to Read Your Emails

Do you have one of those email clients that strips out the pictures automatically... for security reasons? I do, which means that any fancy colours, pictures or formatting is completely lost on me.

If international school recruiters have an email client that strips all the coding out of your emails, then your email is going to start looking very unprofessional!

So, what should you do?

Send your email messages in plain text. Keep it simple and make sure your email is sent out in plain text. Any pictures you want to send should either be left out or attached separately.

Remember, this email is the first time you will have any contact with a potential employer. You want to put your best foot forward!
