You put in the time and dedication to create a stunning resume. Now it is time to submit it to prospective employers. To understand whether you should send a resume by email or by regular mail, go back to the source: the company to which you are applying. If you are applying to a position that you found through an online posting, you will likely find directions in the listing to send your resume to a specific email address. Always adhere to such instructions. Should you send your document via regular mail as well? While there is a chance that this will grab hiring managers' attention, there is also the risk that it will annoy them and make them think you failed to follow directions. Err on the cautious side and send by email only. If you are blindly applying to companies you find appealing, peruse their websites to find the most appropriate ways to approach them about potential jobs. Some accept emailed documents only, while others prefer paper documents. If you find no instructions, use your own discretion, but keep in mind that emailing resumes is the more commonly accepted practice. For more help with this decision, check out this useful site.
