E-mail Formatting
a do-it-yourself (DIY) Alternative
Overview
< style="font-size: 12px;">Use this format to insure that your resume is received via E-mail with the same format (look) that is showing on your screen, and/or a hard-copy. This iis one of two options you have. The other is also used if your resume is faxed, or if there is the possibility it will be scanned into a computer— to be read by computer software. This second version is different than the description noted below. It is described in great detail, with examplles, etc, on pages 48-50 in the Resume Workbook in the
Resume Workbook. “Key” Factors
- With your resume on the screen, do a “save as”—but—save as “text only”to insure it doesn’t corrupt into ASCI code. do not save as “text with line breaks,” or “rich text.”
- Next, open your “text only” resume document, and set margins at one-inch (1") all around. Then go to the menu bar and “save” your changes, then make a “copy” for pasting.
- Open your E-mail, and type in an introductory comment defining the source where you found out about the job opening, such as,”The following is a copy of my resume for your evaluation, I look forward to hearing from you.” or similar wording, plus add the job title, number, etc.
- Now, paste your resume copy into your email but DO NOT send as an attachment as many companies will not open attachments.
- Finally, “send” your E-mail, but do not stop your job search while you wait for a telephone call. Just keep right on working at your job search until you accomplish your goal of finding a job. If a call comes for an interview great, if not keep on working, and you will succeed.
- Be aware—statistically—roughly only 4% of all jobs gotten, are found using Internet sources. SO, use other methods too.
