As professionals, we rely on the Internet to search for jobs and e-mails to solicit them. We create our resumes and cover letters to adapt them to the electronic format. It is therefore not surprising that printing a resume can lead to concerns and mistakes.
First, lets discuss when a printed resume is needed. While completing many job applications online, you should always have a printed resume to interview with you. You should also remember that it is very likely that your potential employer will print your resume from a job search website or the message you sent to express your interest in the job. Therefore, it is very important to print a test copy before submitting your resume to employers to make sure the presentation is the one you want.
In general, when printing your CV, be sure to use white or ivory paper. You can get a stack of return paper in any office supply store. You will want your resume to appear as clean and professional. Do not use colored paper or change the color of the font to make your resume stand out; your employer will find this unprofessional and childish, which is not the first impression you want to make. If your resume has more than one page, print several pages. Do not print on the front and back of a single page; instead, include the titles in your resume file, indicating the page numbers, and print each page on your own sheet of paper. You should not have any writing on your resume; make sure the page numbers are printed with the rest of the CV content.
Be sure to leave your resume on the printer for a few moments before recovering it. This will help prevent smudging of the paper ink, especially if you are using an inkjet printer. You want to make sure that the resume does not have burrs, stains or creases when you give it to your potential employer. First impressions are important, you do not want your life to be that of someone who is careless and careless.
When you run for an interview, you must bring several copies of your resume with you. Some people think that this is not necessary because your potential employer already has your resume. This is a common misconception. You should always have several copies of your CV printed and with you during an interview. Often, the hiring manager may ask another associate to meet you during the interview process and he / she may not have a copy of your resume. Having extras gives you a professional look, prepared and organized, which allows you to give the best of your time. In addition, it is helpful if the copy of the resume you bring for an interview includes a complete list of references. You can include references directly on your resume (usually at the bottom of the page) or include a separate sheet of paper with the list. The first option is preferable because it provides the employer with all the critical information about you in the same place. The inclusion of your references prevents the employer from asking you for this information; it also shows that you are seriously interested in the available position.
Having a well formatted, clean and professional resume will only help you make a good first impression and help you get the job that really interests you.
Internet has transformed job search. Professionals can now create and send a CV by email to multiple potential employers simultaneously. Headhunter sites allow us to create and store cover letters and resumes in electronic format, making the process more convenient. However, printing electronically formatted resumes can raise some concerns.
When will a printed resume be needed? Hard copy resumes are needed when you are going to a job interview where you and the potential employer will be talking face-to-face. Although it is likely that your potential employer will have already printed a copy of your resume from your online application for the interview, it is recommended that you have a clean and professional copy. Pre-printing a test copy will help ensure that your resume is properly formatted for printing and looks professional.
When printing your CV, you should always use white or ivory paper; this can be obtained at any office supply store. Using colored paper, colorful fonts or great fonts keeps the professional image you are trying to project away. You may seem childish and unprofessional to a potential employer, which can ruin a good first impression. If your resume has more than one page, be sure to print all pages and make sure the format is the same for all subsequent pages. Print on one side of the paper and write the page numbers at the bottom of each page. Make sure there are no stray marks or scribbles on the pages. By paying attention to the small details in the beginning, you will look neat and meticulous for all potential employers.
If you are using an inkjet printer, leave your document on the printer until the ink dries to avoid smudging. Place your resume in a binder or bound book to make sure the edges do not become curled, without ears, or the document is not wrinkled. First impressions can mean the difference between a successful interview and a less successful interview.
Be sure to print multiple copies of your resume and provide one to the interviewer. Although he has a copy, a well-formatted copy will say a lot about your attention to detail and professionalism. Be prepared to provide additional copies if requested. The interviewer may want a manager or colleague to review the CV for additional information. By being prepared, you will be presented as an organized, professional and well-equipped person. In addition, it is recommended to include references with copies of your resume. References can be included at the bottom of your resume or as an attachment. Including references prevents the employer from asking for this information and demonstrates your seriousness.
Having a well formatted, clean and professional resume will make a good first impression and pave the way for a position that really interests you.
