In this video we're going to talk about how
to attach a document specifically your
resume to an email.
In many cases when you apply for a job
a recruiter will ask you to email them a
copy of your resume. So what we do
is we go and make we have a folder on
our computer where our resume is located
in this example I've just created a folder
called resume and I've put a sample
of a resume in that folder and it's on the
desktop okay? So then I go into my email
and after I've pulled up my email and i've
pulled up a blank email document
I make sure I put in the address, so I'll
just send this to myself
and I'll give it a subject... "Resume"
or if your applying for a specific job
you may want to indicate what job it is
that you are applying for, so lets
just put down, "Customer Service"...
In the body of the email you're going
to want to address the recruiter initially
So "Dear John" lets say for example...
Introduce yourself, "my name is so and so"
[Typing]
Then you indicate what position you are
applying for, express your interest in
the position and let them know that you
have attached a copy of your resume to the
email for their consideration.
After you have done that, there will
usually be a button with a paperclip
symbol somewhere on your email okay?
Or there will just be a link that says
"Attach File", now this varies from
email to email, hotmail is different from
Gmail, which is different from yahoo.
So what ever email you are using, you're
gonna want to look for a button or a link
or an icon that either says attach file
or has a paperclip. Once you find that
click that and it will open up your
documents window, you go to where you saved
your resume, so on the desktop.
And I saved it under the resume folder.
And there is my resume, just click it once
then click insert.
Tada! There is my resume
attached to the email ready to be sent.
So after I have finished writing
my little message to the recruiter
and have signed it with my name,
we just click send and it will go
directly to their email.
