Resume Sending By Mail

Also known as snail mail to those of us who depend on e-mail for much of our daily correspondence, traditional paper mail is how you will probably send most of your résumés to employers. To ensure maximum results, follow these steps:

Don’t agonize over the envelope. A standard number 10 business envelope will work fine. For added emphasis, you can always FedEx your résumé or send it in an oversized or stationery envelope.

More important than the type of envelope you use is the spelling on the outside.

Make sure EVERY WORD is spelled correctly. A misspelled name or address can kill your chances before the employer ever gets to your résumé.

It’s OK to fold your résumé. Follow standard business protocol and fold your résumé twice, so that the document is divided into three parts from top to bottom.
Sign your cover letter. The personal touch is important. And studies show that the signature is the second or third thing that readers look to in every letter. So, if sending a cover letter, be sure your signature is easy to read.
