    Hi all,

    I'm in the process of applying for jobs, and some of them have to be done via email. Now, I'm not applying for specific jobs, so when I write the cover letter/email, I'm unsure what to put as the title/ref.

    The title in this letter is "Re: Opportunities in Human Resources", the businesses I am applying to don't have specific jobs advertised, as I said, I am just sending out CVs so I'm wondering what would I put in place of that ref?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I think "Job application for Human Resources Assistant" is probably a more accurate title.

    Thanks, I am not applying for specific jobs though, I am just sending out CVs in the hope of gaining some work.

    What about Job Application as the title/ref, no?

    What do you mean you are not applying for specific jobs?

    You mean you will take any job they offer you?

    No, the companies that I am sending CVs out to don't have jobs advertised (well, none that I came across anyway) so I am simply sending out CVs in the hope that if they do have some work available that they will take my CV into consideration/keep it on file.

    I'm qualified in Office Administration, so office work is the area I want to work in, however with little experience I don't expect to go straight into a management/administrative role, I will need to start at the bottom and work my way up, hence why I am unsure what to put as the title/ref.

    If I was applying for a specific role, I would put that as the ref/title.

    I think you need to apply for a specific role. Employers want to know you'll stick around. You could put Office Administrator/HR Administrator or something like that in the title.
