What to put in subject line for emailing resume?



I am preparing to send out my resume to an employer via email and I am stumped as to what I should put in the subject line of the email. Thanks.

How do you get government offices to respond to my email?

Matthew T asked:


By email, I, as the president of a incorporated nonprofit, have offered State Social Services offices in 48 states a free website that may help their clients with information on how to set up a checking account, etc. They may or may not find the website relevant but at least they should send an acknowledgment. The name and their title appears in the subject line, it is NOT a mass emailing, and there are no attachments. Out of 48, only six responded with a thank you. Why don’t they respond at all? Is there anything else I could have done to show it wasn’t spam or ****?
I know people are skeptical of email but I did everything I thought I could possibly do. Their title and name in the subject. No attachments. And not a mass emailing. These are not volunteers, they are paid staff.

Hey, I got a flash thought. Put a cc to the governors office. Would that work?
State government, not federal.

Email does not ask any question. Just says here is a good website, then describes what it does, then says use it as you see fit.

When emailing a potential employer, what do I put as the subject line, and can the body be the cover letter?



I am emailing an employer about an Administrative Assistant position offered on their website, and wanted to know what do I write in the subject line. Is: re:Administrative Assistant fine or should I put something else like Part-Time Administrative Assistant Position etc?

also, is it okay for the body of the email to be my cover letter, and just attach the resume?
