Faxing Your Resume

Sending your resume via fax gets your information to an employer quickly and easily. However, since print quality is often poor, use the fax method only if requested or if a submission deadline is due.



Follow these guidelines, as discussed in mailing your resume, for creating a crisp, professional looking print version.

Use a high quality fax machine with a confirmation feature to ensure the fax is transmitted correctly. Be sure to include a fax cover sheet with your name and phone number, and a cover letter. Be sure to track when the faxes are sent and to which employers.

Only fax a resume if it's requested in the job listing, even when using a cover sheet. Otherwise it may be discarded and never reach the person for whom it was intended.
