Emailing Your Resume

It's a good idea to insert your resume into the body of the email as well as sending it as an email attachment. Learn how to be sure the employer can open and read it both ways.

You Need Two Email Resumes: MS Word and Plain Text
Because most employers and recruiters use robust computer virus protection, they feel secure receiving resumes as attachments to email. Many like getting an attached resume in MS Word because it allows the employer to:

  • View the resume in a format in which the job seeker may have used various font sizes, bold, italics, indents, and other word processing features to make information easy to read.
  • File the resume on his or her hard drive for future reference.
  • Print the resume.
  • Enter the resume into a database system.

Many employers like to see the resume in the body of the email, in addition to having the resume attached to the email. This makes it easy for the employer to take a quick peek at the applicant's qualifications and then decide whether or not to open the attached resume.

The following steps will guide you through the process of creating a resume specifically formatted for insertion into the body of an email.
