Resume folder? |
I am sending my resume out to several different companies. I'm not sure what I should send them in and I was hoping someone could enlighten me. Shall I send them in a manilla folder or something. I really have no clue how to go about doing it. Any envelop will work, the impact of the resume is the most important part. A manilla envelop would work just fine. A top-notch resume should not exceed 2 pages [its where you've been educated or trained, where you've worked and how you've progressed from first job to most recent--increased responsibilities, higher level of job titles, etc. that they're looking for--not long lists of "hobbies" or "clubs & organizations"] and the best ones are presented on GOOD bond paper--off-white & classy. A cover page with just your name and contact phone-number would fluff it up [lower right corner is a good place]. Mail in a plain manila envelope with your return address & addressee/company name in nice block typing. Keep it simple, tidy, classy -- and, of course, truthful! GOOD LUCK! in an clean envelope have a cover page keep the resume itself to one page block style is really current many companies now are asking that resumes be sent via email The number of pages depends on the type of work that have done and the type of company that you are looking at working for. As for a folder it depend on the type of job. If you are looking at starting out in business then no you don't need a folder. If you are a professional looking for work then yes you do. There is no straight answer it all depends on the type of work as to how you send your resume/CV and the way you present to the company. A personal letter of introduction should be sent out with every resume/CV. If the job is from an advertisement then you hope that they contact you. If it a blind call make sure that you state that you will contact in a week to discuss the possibility of employment, and do it. It shows that you are capable of following through with your work. Also make sure your resume goes out with no typo errors and don't embellish it. It will be noticed. I read them on an ongoing basis for companies and assist them in locating the correct employees for executive positions. I am a Business Consultant. Good luck email the resume...very few employers look at hard copy today. good luck 40+ years experience It's ok if you use the ordinary post or the email option. The only thing to take into consideration when sending an resume via electronic post is to make the resume the body of the email. Employers do not fancy docs which they have to download: http://www.cvtips.com/email_resume.html... |
