Your
resume is a personal marketing tool and like other marketing
vehicles, it must be delivered or distributed to its target audience.
Because each job seeker has unique needs, there is no "right
way" to distribute resumes. To obtain the best results, job seekers
should be prepared to deliver their resume in whatever format
the employer or recruiter requires.
Some common delivery methods are outlined below:
Respond to Posted Job via e-Mail:
The resume is forwarded
by e-mail in response to an advertised job or specific request.
Unless another format is requested: Paste text version of
the resume into outgoing e-mail. If a different format is
requested (MS Word, for example), it is sent as an e-mail
attachment.
Targeted e-Mail Campaign:
MS Word or text resume is forwarded by e-mail to targeted
recruiters, hiring managers, and/or venture capital firms. More about targeted e-mailing
MS Word or text resume is distributed to hundreds or thousands
of recruiters, hiring agents, and/or employers (typically, all
locations and industries). About resume blasting
Typically, a text resume is "pasted" into an online
form and "posted" to a searchable online database. Some sites
will allow you to upload and post a Word version of the resume.
Resumes can be posted at general job search sites (www.Monster.com),
at job-specific sites (www.salesjobs.com), or at company sites
like www.nike.com.
The ABCs
of Resume Posting
A hard copy version of resume may be faxed to employers or
recruiters on request or sent unsolicited to targeted hiring
managers. When faxing, be sure to use a scannable resume format
to increase readability and reduce scanning errors. Some faxed
resumes are received and read by human beings, while others
are "scanned" via the fax and downloaded into a
database.
Some companies use the fax to "scan" incoming resumes
for downloading to resume database.
