To apply by e-mail, you will need to adapt your documents to ASCII (plain text) format. Here are some tips: - Convert all the text in your resume to 10-point Courier. This will ensure that your resume will appear with the same vertical alignment on the hiring manager's computer as it does on yours.
- Set your line length to no more than 80 characters.
- Be sure to save the file as "Text with Line Breaks."
- If the design of your hardcopy resume includes columns, bullets or bitmapped graphics, consider a simpler layout for your e-mail version. Take advantage of ASCII characters like dashes (–), asterisks (*) and arrows (>) and limit the use of bold and italics.
