What folder do you put your resume in?

Don’t hand it to them, but always bring a folder with 2-3 copies of your resume, the job description printed and a list of questions for them with space for you to write in answers. You’ll rarely need the resume, never need the job description and always need the list of questions.

Should I put my resume in a report cover?

You want to make sure that the pages of your resume are taken as a whole. Place your resume and cover letter inside a protective plastic document sleeve. Since some human resources departments prefer to scan resumes into a computer database, you’ll make the job easier by using a disposable paper clip.

Should I hand in my resume in a folder?

Your resume should be simple and elegant. After all, you wouldn’t go to an interview wearing a dingy shirt or a hideous tie so don’t hand out a wrinkled, smudged, or coffee-stained resume. When you bring your resume to an interview, carry it in a folder to keep it crisp and fresh.

Should I drop my resume off in person?

Do online applications get looked at?
