I was just wondering what most people consider acceptable formats for sending your resume through email. More specificly...
How to include the resume / cover letter
Do you assume most companies have microsoft word and write your resume in that?
Do you post any highlights in the body of the email that might intice HR to open up your resume?
Do you avoid an attachment and post your whole resume in the body of the email
File compression
Do you compress your files?
If so - what format? .zip, .rar? ... etc
Should you compress files together in a folder with your name? Or do you compress them seperatly... IE cover letter/resume and then sample work
I appreciate any insight anyone has into this
