  1. Never cut and paste when sending a resume.  If email is the only avenue in which they allow you to send the resume, use an attachment.  Make sure you save your resume in an easily accessed file type, like rich text, or OpenOffice (useful for both PC and Mac users alike).  I would treat your email like a virtual cover letter.  The email address should give you some kind of clue (or the job ad) to where you are sending your resume.  If not, address it to human relations, to whom it may concern, or simply sir or madam.  Treat the email as professionally as possible.  Do NOT get caught up in online jargon or abbreviations.  

    Hope this helps!


  2. i guess you should attach it to the mail.

    just mention that the attached file contains your resume?

  3. I would submit it as an attachment

  4. yea duh if it is required.

  5. You should attached, so that they can easily print the document how you intended it to look.

    You can use the e-mail as a cover page and say:

    Dear Sir/Madam,



    (list the role here)



    I wish to express interest in the (role) position advertised.  Please find enclosed my resume.



    I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

    Just keep it simple.
