How do I send my resume as an attachment? I just want the resume sent.

Open a new message and click on the PaperClip icon and browse to the resume
file. You should at least include a subject and your name in the message. If
I was the person that you were sending the resume to, I would expect you to
a least provide a salutation (Dear Mr. or Mrs. ____) a bit of a message,
followed by Sincerely or Yours Truley, or some such closing followed by your
name, address, and phone number.

I can do that. i guess my question is When I add my resume as an attachment
it is sent in the publisher format where whoever recieves my resume can edit
it. So how do i get just my resume out of publisher edit format and it just
be my reasume?

Sounds like this is something that you should encode as a PDF, (I'm comming
into this thread late so this may have been discussed). My Laptop, has a
PDF print driver, so all I need to do is print the document and it'll be
encoded for me - I love this feature of my laptop. If you can't make a
PDF, then you'd be better off changing the file to a bitmap or something
like that.

Also as an employer, I'd expect the covering letter to start with Dear Sir
(if name not known) or Dear Mr Surname (If known) then when ending the
letter - Either Yours Sincerely (if name not know) or Your Faithfully (Name
known) this is how correct letter writing was taught to me in school. I
believe that the Yours Truley is an american thing, and I'm not sure of it's
correct use. It may seem like a little thing, however, whilst correct
grammer doesn't help you it, bad gramma will definatly count against.

p.s. I use Regards - as this is what is normally used on fax cover sheets
and is less formal, but hey, this ain't no letter ;-)

First convert your Resume to a PDF document using PrimoPDF (
www.primopdf.com ) or some other converter or if you are using Pub 2007
I think it will output PDF.
Then attach the PDF file as below and anyone should be able to read it.
The PDF Reader is free and everybody should have a copy.
