There are things I can not seem to find answers to: Do people like resumes attached in Word, or online…? Links to online profile or portfolio on the resume, or no? And uh, do people like their 250 word samples double spaced?
If I get everything really right I’m making a PDF… unless of course people don’t like PDFs…
Karen are you writing resumes for folks? Or are you supplying examples? I’m not totally connecting with your issue, woe is me :O
I’m just sending a resume and a sample. When I’ve applied for jobs, I’ve always attached Word files, but it looks like a lot of people who do freelance have resumes that are posted online — so I just don’t know if it’s more standard at this point to send an attachment or a link.
There are some nifty little gigs that get posted online occasionally; when I encounter one that seems like it might be particularly up my alley, I just try to put everything together right. This is the one I encountered today: http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/wrg/1933004194.html
I’m no where near applying for the job you linked to on CL…however…as a person that knows about applying online I’d advise attaching a Notepad (or something similar) resume versus something written in Word. If the prospective employer is more lenient I’d sure encourage you to create an online resume that you can link to in a flash. ~Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the job you apply for.
Thanks! The post I linked to is more in my subject area, but I believe I have seen ones that were more in yours. I’ll pass along something if it really seems to be — if you want me to. (I do believe I have skimmed the Craiglist writing jobs for every major city in the country this week via Twitter.)
I am not familiar with Notepad. I am thinking maybe PDF on this, when I’m sure I have it right.
Oh yeah, send me any links. Do you have my direct email?
Notepad is a Windows text editor…if you use another program I am sure you have something similar. Anywho pleased as punch to hash this all out Karen.
