How to Attach a Resume in an Email
In recent years, applying for jobs online has become increasingly popular. Not only is it cheaper to send an email than to send a letter through regular mail, it is also faster and therefore allows you to contact more potential employers in a minimal amount of time. When applying for a job by email, most recruiters ask you to attach your resume to your message. You can do so in just a few steps.
Open your email program or your webmail site.
Click on "New message" and fill in the "To:" and "Subject:" fields.
Type your cover letter in the body of the email.
Click on the "Attach" or "Paperclip" button to attach your resume. Locate the file which contains the resume on your hard drive and click on the "Open" button.
Send your email along with the attached resume by clicking on the "Send" button.
