19).The Bid: Subject line

Some FWEs and job boards allow you add a subject line to your bid. Normally these default to “RE: Project Title” where the project title was already provided by the employer.Not all allow for a subject line, but here’s how to take advantage of those that do.You can imagine that an employer will see a list of fifty or so bids with the same “RE:Project Title” subject when he is looking through them. If you make yours different, you can instantly stand out before he even reads you bid. Don’t just put anything for this line though. Make it catch the employer’s attention.
So instead of putting “Interested in your project” or “Reliable graphic designer” as a subject line, use something more on the lines of:“5 Year Expert Graphic Designer. Results 100% Guaranteed.”
“You can finally stop looking at these other bids. Read on for why…”
This way you catch the curiosity of an employer and encourage him to read on or possibly read your bid first.
The Bid: Introduction
This is simply a short paragraph that states the project title and/or project ID, thanks the employer for the opportunity to apply for the project and briefly outlines the rest of the bid.
