Subject:Advice on Resumes From:stark vision <stark_vision -at- HOTBOT -dot- COM> Date:Sat, 13 Feb 1999 18:27:08 -0000
Hello All-
I have some questions and need some advice about Resumes .
When sending a resume electronically (via email) do I send it as an attachment, in the body, as a pdf, a word file, frame file, or all of the above.
Do I save the attachments as Resume.doc or as My Name. doc?
Are there any pitfalls to avoid when sending a resume to a potential employer?
For example, is parallel construction in a resume important? Should a resume be one page only?
Any and all comments related to this are more than welcome.
