Printing Your Résumé

 

Step Seven: Printing And Mailing Your Résumé

Printing--Print your résumé on good quality white bond paper (at least 24# weight) available from Central Services in Leighton or from the Career Center, 25 sheets for $1.00. The Career Center has both Macintosh and PC's available for printing.

Mailing--Type the address, don't handwrite it, on a standard white business-size envelope.

E-mailing--Send your cover letter and résumé as attachments to an e-mail. Your e-mail should simply state your name and that you have attached a résumé and cover letter in a particular format. Offer to send them in another format if there are problems. IMPORTANT: Be sure you don't send a virus with your résumé. If you cost a company thousands of dollars in computer damage even before you work there, you can bet they're not going to be eager to hire you.

That's it! Your résumé should be ready to be sent out! (Unless, of course, you want to take it in to the Career Center for some more critique!) Remember, update your résumé regularly and be sure to tailor it for every job you apply for.
