Question:
Every time I E-mail someone with my resume as an
attachment they E-mail me back stating that it needs to
be in "word format" and to E-mail again.
What does this mean and how do I correct it?
Thank you for whatever assistance you can supply.
Answer:
- first of all, I think this is "bad practice" on both sides. Sending a
resume in Word is OK if you don't care for the appearance/layout/etc. of
your text. I strongly suggest you send a PDF-file otherwise.
Sending DOC-files via email, it's always a good idea to ZIP them up
before attaching it. This reduces the danger of any E-mail-tool (server-
or client-side) messing up with your file.
- What they mean is that your resume should be created in Microsoft Word and
saved as a Word document (i.e., HCEResume.doc).
