✅ CV Attachment Best Practices:
📎 Format: PDF only – not a Word doc, not a screenshot, not a photo.
🧾 File name: Njoroge_Njuma_CV.pdf — simple, professional, searchable.
✅ Before You Hit “Send” — Ask Yourself:
✔️ Is my subject line clear and job-specific?
✔️ Is my CV in PDF format and properly named?
✔️ Does my email introduce me with clarity and courtesy?
✔️ Have I triple-checked grammar and contact info?

💡 Final Thought:
Don't let a lazy email undo all your hard work.
A strong CV with a weak message is a missed opportunity.
Your application should reflect who you are — thoughtful, capable, and ready.

Make it count.
