Emailing your resume - the secret no one tells you

Emailing your resume....the secret!

Emailing your resume... is a risky business!

Though it seems as though you are showing how cool, modern and computer savvy you are by emailing an application, it can make the opposite impression.

If you send your resume as an attachment many employers will not open it as it can contain a virus.

If you cut and paste a 'Word' document into the 'body' of the email - where you type the message, the formatting in the 'Word' document can be misread, and throw words left and right, break lines in odd places and altogether make a mess of all that careful work you did you set up your resume.

You have no way of knowing if your message will be read as plain text or rich text.
