SENDING YOUR RESUME

At sometime during your job search you will have to send your resume via email, most companies supply a certain address to forward resumes to. Always make sure you use a professional email address, you don't want your resume to be send from an offensive address. You may have to set up a new email account this is very easy to do through GMail.

Always try and attach your resume as a PDF unless the company is asking for a certain format this will make sure the format of your resume is kept as you designed it. Most people at home use "word" but don't worry a word document can be changed into a PDF by simply using a converter.

When faxing your resume always make sure you use a cover sheet indicating who the resume is for and your contact details and the position you are applying for. I know most people don't have a fax machine at home, but don't panic your public library or copy shop will be happy to send it for you.

Some companies will want you to mail your resume to them always send it in a large envelope "never fold your resume" make sure you write clearly on the envelope.
