Is it okay to send my resume as an email attachment?

Resume Attachments

You should avoid sending email attachments to employers unless you are invited to do so.

An important Resume Delivery Tip: Some employers may not have the particular software (or version of the software) that is required to open the attachment, and many employers are rightfully concerned about viruses in attachments.

By simply pasting your resume within the body of your email, you will avoid these issues and make it easier for the recruiter or employer to scan your resume.
