IELTS Part 3 Questions about letters

Do you think it is better to apply for a job by letter or by email? (Why?/Why not?)

Personally, I prefer to send an email, but which is better? Well, the easy answer would depend on what it says on the job vacancy โ€“ if it asks you to send your resume and covering letter by email, or even upload it to their site, then thatโ€™s the best way to apply.

On the other hand, if the company or agency asks you to mail your resume and covering letter, then clearly thatโ€™s the best way. Really, I think nowadays most recruitment professionals expect to receive resumes and applicant details by email rather than in hard copy.
