E-RESUME

[Resume and Cover Letter Tutorial]  Go to Cover Letter>

 

In today's Information Age, you will have to use e-resumes to send employers your resume. Below are some tips of how to effectively send e-resumes:

1. When on-line at a job search or company site , you will come across prospective employers who want you to e-mail them your resume. First, go to their e-mail address. For example, it might read: RFoster@ComTeK.com. Click on it and a mailbox will pop up.

2. Write your e-cover Letter in the box.  

3. You can open the attachment file on your Internet server and send.

4. If your resume is on Word, for example, go to that program and open your resume file.

5. Once opened, use your mouse to highlight the entire resume. Close that application.

6. Go back to the prospective employer's pop-up mailbox. Put your cursor after your e-Cover Letter, and paste it (use the letter "C" and then the letter "V").

7. Press send.

8. You can also scan your resume.

9. Want to be very high tech? Why not have an online resume video, audio and portfolio? Maybe, you want to have your own career web site to display your resume?  Get creative. The Internet offers a great deal of opportunities.  

See below for Sample of how to incorporate your resume into an e-mail:
