Often you will be asked to send an additional resume, sometimes formatted, sometimes by fax, sometimes as a word document attached to an email. You may also receive undeliverable email messages and auto responder messages returned to your email mailbox. Since most candidates consider such responses junk mail, you can usually just delete them upon receipt. Better distribution services filter them out and save you the work. Try as we might to eliminate such emails, they come with the territory and can be expected.
Redistribution is a delicate process.
Too frequent distribution of the same resume can be understandably interpreted as an annoyance by recruiters and employers who receive them. Confidentiality will limit somewhat the number of responses that are received as a result of a resume distribution. However, we have found that the responses that are not received are usually those that have marginal interest. This identifies the candidate as actively involved in career transition and whether employed or not, is interested in engaging in serious discussion. The candidate will also utilize the Repeated Submissions option as often as possible.
