Never use poor quality photocopies. Do not overlook the importance of appearance. Have an English-speaking person, preferably an American, review your resume for readability. Never send a resume to an employer without a cover letter. The details for writing effective cover letters is thoroughly covered in the section marked Cover Letters.
Cover letters are extremely important.
Once you have completed the necessary work on your resume you will need to develop a list of potential employers. This is your most difficult task. The mass mailing tactics are, essentially, sending out the same letter to many employers in hopes of an interview. Our office strongly discourages this practice. Instead, you will increase your chances of getting a position if you are selective in developing your list.
