Best email subject line: John Kamau CV for Sales Manager Position it’s straightforward and informative. It tells the recipient who you are, what youre sending, and why youre sending it. This isnt a concrete formula, however. Since some job ads require you mention a job reference ID number when you apply, you should substitute the name of the position with the number.
