How can each section of an email be enhanced?

Being direct and saying what you want, giving them some information about what you know and who you are, but don’t overshare. Write as if they were already considering you for the job, you must have the mindset of someone who is going to be selected by the recruiter.
How can you develop effective communication on Slack?

On these communication channels, you don’t need to be as formal as in an email. Be concise, write down everything you want to say, then summarize it and if you can summarize it even more, do it. Avoid walls of text.

How can each section be enhanced?

Salutation: should be formal, just in case you don't know the receiver you can put: To whom it concern.
Main Body: start with an opening sentence. Say what exactly you want. Be concise. And try to add a Call To Action e.g. Do not forget to check my CV for more detail. Furthermore, show the recruiters the interest on their company.
Closing: add the word consideration and a formal farewell as kind regards, best regards, sincerely, etc.

How can you develop effective communication on Slack? If you are looking to work on an International Company, they most of the times use Slack in order to communicate. Hence, be concise when writing and try to do it in maximum 1-2 tweets long.

Taking into account all the recommendations given by Jess, is very important to mention some of the points he enhanced in regarding:

· It´s relevant and necessary to show to the possible new employer, your core abilities, knowledge and background related to the corporate purpose of the company, although your principal goals achieved and other important facts reached in your professional career.

· Also, it´s very important to tell our “next” employer or contractor, that the industry which we are applying for, currently is the one of the most interesting by us, mentioning in such way, what is our insights or thoughts about the company and the businesses field perspectives according to the information that we know regarding their economic sector in question.

How can each section be enhanced? The first part of your cover letter can be driven to someone in special or you just can say something like "To whom it may concern"

Summarize your years of experience in two lines.
Mention why your profile is perfect for the position, and make a CTA.
Mention something that highly the company and that they're taking you into account for the position.
