Email or Snail Mail

Email or Snail MailWhen looking for a job, the question of how to send your resume is always asked. If you send it via email, does anyone even read it? Does it get deleted? What happens to my resume? I often think that when sending your resume via email, that it’s way to easy for an employer to just click delete.

But if you print your resume and mail it to them. It’s physcially in front of them. They have to do something with it. Where’s the delete key? It forces them to actually look at it.

My philosopy is get them the resume any ways you can. Email it, mail it, and fax it if you can. Heck, even if they do get it three times it will make them think you are determined.

Don’t just rely on email for sending your resume. I know it’s the easiest way, but do your research and find an address or fax number and use these as well.
