Emailing job inquiries

[HornsInTheHouse]

When applying for a job via email, what documents do you send? Cover letter, resume, and references? Or only the first two and wait for a request for references?

Also, do you bundle all the documents into a single Word document? Which format, Word or PDF, is preferable?

I wouldn't send references. Cover letter? Its going into the garbage. Just paste your brief introduction in the body of the email.
