1. Understand the Job Before You Apply

Before sending your CV, take a few minutes to:

Read the job description properly
Check location, experience, education, and skills required
Note the application email and deadline
See if they ask for CV only or CV + cover letter

👉 Applying randomly to every job with the same CV and email looks unprofessional. Instead, apply only where you are a good match and then send a targeted application.

2. Prepare a Clean, Professional CV

Your CV is often your first impression. Whether you’re a fresher or experienced, make sure your CV is:

Simple and clean – no fancy fonts or too many colors
Well-structured – easy sections like:
- Career Objective
- Education
- Work Experience / Internships
- Skills
- Training & Certifications
- Projects (for IT/Tech roles)
- Contact Details
Updated – recent job, skills, trainings and contact number
Error-free – no spelling or grammar mistakes

Make Your CV Easily with Slicejob

Tips for Freshers:

Highlight projects, internships, volunteering, and skills
Add your computer skills, language skills, and soft skills
Use a short, simple career objective (e.g., “To build a career in…”)

Tips for Experienced Candidates:

Focus on achievements, not just responsibilities
- Example: Instead of “Handled sales,” write “Achieved 120% of monthly sales targets for 6 months.”
Keep CV to 1–2 pages (no need for 5 pages)
Mention tools, software, and domains you work in (e.g., Tally, Excel, Flutter, sales CRM, etc.)

👉 Save your CV as PDF with a professional name:
YourName_CV.pdf (Example: SitaNeupane_CV.pdf)

3. Use a Professional Email Address

Your email ID should look professional, especially when applying to companies.

✅ Good examples:

sita.neupane@gmail.com
sneupane.cv@gmail.com

❌ Avoid emails like:

cuteboy123@...
princessbaby@...

Using a professional email address shows maturity and seriousness.

4. Write a Strong Email Subject Line

The subject line is very important. Many recruiters filter emails by subject.

Use this format:
Application for [Job Title] – [Your Name]

Examples:

Application for Flutter Developer – Sita Neupane
Application for Sales Supervisor – Ramesh Sharma
Application for Accountant (1–2 Years Experience) – Anish Thapa

Avoid empty subjects or only writing “CV” or “Job”.

5. Write a Simple and Professional Email Body

Think of your email body like a mini cover letter. It should be:

Short
Polite
Clear
Professional

Sample Email Format (for Freshers)

Subject: Application for IT & Office Support – [Your Name]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for the position of IT & Office Support as advertised. I have completed my Bachelor’s in Information Technology and have basic knowledge of MS Office, networking, and computer hardware.

I am eager to start my career and believe my skills, willingness to learn, and positive attitude would make me a good fit for your team.

I have attached my CV for your kind consideration.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Phone Number]
[Email Address]

Sample Email Format (for Experienced Candidates)

Subject: Application for Sales Supervisor – [Your Name]

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the position of Sales Supervisor at your reputed company. I have 3 years of experience in sales and distribution in the FMCG sector, where I successfully handled dealer management, target achievement, and team coordination.

I am confident that my experience in field sales, customer relationship management, and target-oriented work would add value to your sales team.

Please find my CV attached for your kind review. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my suitability for this role.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Phone Number]
[Email Address]

6. Attach Your CV Properly

When sending your CV:

Attach it as a PDF
Make sure the file opens correctly
Avoid sending Google Drive links with restricted access
Attach only what is requested (CV, cover letter, portfolio, etc.)

Before clicking Send, check:

✅ Attachment is there
✅ Subject line is correct
✅ Email body is written
✅ Recipient email is correct (example: hr.nepal@slicejob.com, vacancy@pathao.com, etc.)

7. Apply Through Job Portals Professionally

If you’re applying through job portals like Slicejob or company websites:

Fill all fields correctly (name, phone, email, education, experience)
Upload a clean CV in PDF
Avoid using casual profile pictures
Double-check spelling and dates

On Slicejob and similar platforms, keep your profile updated so recruiters can find you easily.

8. Follow Up Politely (But Don’t Spam)

If you don’t hear back after 7–10 days, you can send a short follow-up email.

Example:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you are well. I had applied for the position of [Job Title] on [Date] and wanted to kindly follow up regarding the status of my application.

I am very interested in this opportunity and would be grateful if you could let me know if any further information is required.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Don’t send messages every day. One or two follow-ups are enough.

9. Common Mistakes to Avoid While Sending CV

❌ Sending the same CV for every job without changes
❌ Using informal language like “Hey”, “Hi bro”, “Plz check CV”
❌ Empty email body with only attachment
❌ Spelling mistakes in subject or job title
❌ No phone number or wrong contact details in CV
❌ Multiple emails to the same company in a single day

Avoiding these mistakes already makes you more professional than many other applicants.

10. Final Tips for Job Seekers in Nepal

Be honest in your CV (no fake experience or certificates)
Always keep a PDF version of your updated CV
Keep a record of where you applied and when
Be ready for phone interviews—answer calls politely
Keep learning new skills (Excel, communication, IT tools, sales techniques, etc.)

Conclusion

Applying for a job professionally is a skill—and it’s one that every job seeker in Nepal can learn. Whether you’re a fresher just starting your career or an experienced candidate looking for growth, following these CV sending tips can help you get noticed and shortlisted.
