# How to email an internship recruiter: examples for common situations

## Send an eligibility question someone can answer

Fictional situation: you are completing an associate degree and intend to transfer. The posting requires current bachelor's-degree enrollment but does not say when that condition must be met. Pay and location are already clear.

### Send each question to the person responsible

| Question | Starting contact |
| --- | --- |
| Does my enrollment satisfy this role's requirement? | The role's published recruiting contact |
| Will the work earn course credit? | Your college's responsible academic office |
| Has my résumé been forwarded? | The person who offered to forward it |

## Your turn

Write the recruiting email without attaching your transcript or asking the recipient to repeat the posting.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Give the recipient the role, the ambiguous wording, your relevant fact and one question. Include a résumé only when requested or genuinely useful for the purpose of the message.
