  When asked to email your resume, how do you mail it? just copy it in the body of the message, attach a word doc? what would look more professional?

  Attach a Word document or PDF so that it's more consistent with the way you wanted it to look like. Or have it on a web page somewhere.

  ...because, unless you have practically no formatting in your resume, the formatting may be lost if you just copy and paste into the text box.

  Ask them, if you can. Some of them want it to be in a text box, as horrible as it is.

  If your career has anything to do with design: the only form your resume should live in for correspondence is PDF. End of story. Otherwise people can mess with it. You'd be surprised, it happens. Plus if it's a PDF, you can obviously do whatever the heck you want with typography.

  • I've gotten some really nice looking Word CV's in the past.– 2pence1/4

    Word = font restrictions, plus it doesn't read InDesign or Illy kerning tables.– gramme2/4

    Doesn't mean you can't do a nicely typeset CV in it if you know what you're doing. Not all AD's or CD's actually use design apps.– 2pence3/4

    design apps.– 2pence4/4
