Survey says job seekers should avoid e-mailing their resumes

Even though technology seems to be on everybody's mind, only 8 percent wanted to

receive a resume by e-mail.

"Executives often prefer the mailed version of

a resume because of what it reveals about the job seeker," said Diane Domeyer, executive director

of Office Team. "It shows a candidate has extended

a greater effort to personalize the information.

In addition, such elements as the choice of paper, quality of printing and layout of the documents

give insight to overall professionalism."

Emily Costello, OfficeTeam division director, said, "The more informal delivery system of

e-mail or fax might cause some job seekers to become

lax or rushed to the detriment of the appearance of

the resume and cover letter. Regardless of the

vehicle, hiring managers will notice attention to detail."
