Seven Resume Distribution Tips
by Deborah L. Schuster, CPRW 

1. Mail your resume flat in a 9x12 envelope.

2. Always include a cover letter, individually addressed to the recipient.

3. Do not staple your 2-page resume or cover letter.

4. If you are given the option of mailing, faxing, or e-mailing your resume – do all three.

5. When e-mailing your resume, copy and paste the “ASCII” (Text Only) version of your resume directly into the e-mail message itself, then attach the Microsoft Word "Presentation Resume".  To ensure that your resume can be viewed by anyone in it's intended format, you can also order a PDF Format Resume.

6. When sending your resume to Human Resources Departments or Recruiters, send a “Scannable” version of your resume (we can create this) along with the presentation resume.  When submitting your resume directly to the decision maker, use your attractive, MS-Word resume.  You should also use this version for interviews and personal presentation.

7. Don’t forget to sign your cover letters!
