CV questions

  • My email has an underline in it _ so I have taken off the function that makes it underlined so that you cant click on it and send an email from the document, you would have to copy it or write it yourself. Is that ok?
  • I have been working as a childminder part-time for 3 years while I have helped taken care of my grand-mother. Is childminder the right word to use? What can I put on the cv to make it look like a good thing to have worked as a childminder? I am applying for receptionist and customer services jobs.
  • Sometimes I write the cover letter in the body of the email and sometimes I send it as an attachment together with the cv. Is one of those options better?
Thanks

    1 - Yes.
    2 - If you were a childminder, then that's the right word to use!
    3 - I would always put the cover letter as the body of an email, unless they say "send a CV and covering letter to..." in which case I'd attach it.

    HTH :)

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".
