Mailing Your Resume

By Steve Burt

______________________________

Use 9" x 12" catalog envelopes for a professional presentation when mailing your resume. These envelopes allow you to mail your resume and cover letter without folding. When your submission arrives at its destination, the documents will lie flat on the desk and will look a heck of a lot better than the same documents with a couple of nasty-looking folds with unreadable lines of text (if the folds fall on a line of text).

If you're only mailing a few copies of your resume, Priority Mail is a good investment. Makes a nice impact on the recipient without the overkill (or expense) of overnight delivery. You can stock up on Priority Mail envelopes at the Post Office - they're free. If you use the 9-1/2 x 12-1/2 cardboard ones rather than the larger flimsy Tyvek ones, you can slide the 9" x 12" envelope containing your resume and cover letter right in.
