What to put in each box
The proof box matters most. Use one thing you did, with a number if you have one. "I answered 900 tickets" says more than "I'm hard working". If you don't have a number yet, use a project you can show, or leave the box empty.
Use the hours box to say when you can work. Our time zone tool gives you a line to paste.
Read the advert first. If it asks for a form instead of an email, use the form. If it asks for one thing to be in the subject line, put it there. You can change anything in the email before you copy it.
Before you send
We can't promise replies, as many employers only write back to those they shortlist. Send it from your own email, attach your CV, and read it once more. Our guide to cover letters for remote jobs goes further. Then find a role, and keep track of it with the application tracker.
Questions people ask
How long should an application email be?
Short enough to read at a glance. This tool gives you a few short paragraphs, and you can cut more.
Does workafro send the email?
No. The site sends nothing. You copy the text into your own mail.
