How To Attach A Resume

You may know how to create a resume that sells and gets you attention for your career, but do you know what to do when you asked to attach your resume? Below, we give you the simple steps on how to successfully attach your resume, and make sure it is ready to be attached and viewed:

Choose Your Format:
First, do you have it in the right format? This is the first question you should be asking yourself in order to successfully attach your resume. You need to make sure that it is as updated and free of error as possible-as well as in the right format. When we say format, we mean that it is the format that an employer will likely ask for. What are common formats of resumes that employers ask for you to attach? Word, pdf, and similar document programs. To be as prepared as possible for easy submission of your resume, you should make sure you have your resume saved in one of each of these formats, and titled accordingly for best reference.

How to Attach Your Resume:
Once you have the right format and you have checked your resume over one last time, it is necessary that you get ready to attach your resume, and know how to do it successfully. Here’s how:

1. Create a cover letter in the body of the email
2. Use the attach choice from your email drop down menu.
3. It will ask you if you want to attach a document or a picture. Choose document.
4. There will be a menu asking you from where you want to retrieve the file, and which file.
5. Select the appropriate file, and click attach.
6. If it has been successful, it will show an attached file with the name of the file at the top of your email (in some email programs, it can be at the bottom).
7. Hit “send” to send your email with your attached resume.
