Mail a resume and cover letter

Most applications go by email, but not all: some employers, competitions or programs still ask for a paper application. And a resume that arrives by mail gets noticed.

When mail makes sense

A job posting that explicitly asks for a mailed application, a file for a program or scholarship, an unsolicited application to a small business where email gets lost, or a follow-up after an interview.

Make it look right

Put the cover letter and resume in one PDF, letter first. Choose flat mailing: the document arrives in a large 9×12 envelope, unfolded, exactly as you laid it out.

Colour is worth it if your resume has a header, a logo or coloured elements; otherwise black and white is fine.
