If you email your resume to employers and they can’t open or read it, what
chance do you have of getting called for an interview?

Roughly zero.

So, how can you e-mail your resume to ensure that employers can read it?

For best
results, send your resume INSIDE and ATTACHED to your e-mail. That way, even if
you have Windows and the employer has a Mac, for example, you're sure that your
documents can be read.

Follow
these steps before e-mailing your resume to employers:

1. copy and paste the text of your
   resume and cover letter into the body of an e-mail;
2. attach the document (in Word or
   WordPerfect) to the e-mail;
3. send a test message to yourself
   and a friend, to see how the whole thing will look and print — if it's a
   mess, adjust and test until it works.

Action Step:
Practice emailing your resume following the instructions above. Send it to at
least 2 friends and ask them to report on what they see. Do this until you’re
100% certain you’re emailing your resume correctly.
