Should I use my personal email for CV?
If you are applying for a job within your existing company, then you should use your present work email. If you’re applying for a job somewhere else, always your personal email.
Is it better to send a resume or CV?
While resumes are widely recommended if you have relatively limited career experience, CVs are preferable if you plan to apply for jobs in academia or possess a wide array of relevant skills and experiences that would not typically be included in a resume.
Is it best to send a form letter as the cover letter with your resume?
Sending a cover letter along with a resume helps you build your brand the same way an advertising company promotes a product’s brand. “A well-defined brand wins interviews, maximizes salary potential and puts job seekers in the top 2 percent of candidates considered for positions,” Salvador says.
Should I send my resume as a PDF or Word doc?
Most employers will accept either a Word document or PDF file, leaving the decision up to you. Although both file types have their own pros and cons, PDF is usually the better choice. Sending your resume as a PDF file will preserve the formatting and ensure that the document looks exactly the way you intended.
Is it OK to send resume from work email?
If you were to do that, you certainly wouldn’t be the first (or the only) person to do so. Many people job search during the workweek rather than on weekends, and many do it from work. Given the way companies monitor employees, it’s unwise to use your work computer or email account for job searching.
Can you submit both a resume and a CV?
For many job-seekers, writing both a resume and CV is good practice. While you probably won’t submit both when applying for a single job, having these documents ready can give you more flexibility during the application process.

Below is a list of supporting documents that you may need to submit along with an employment application:
- Resume.

- Reference List.

Do employers read cover letters?
Most HR professionals admit that cover letters don’t affect their decision to interview candidates. And while the small minority of recruiters who do read cover letters feel that they offer insight into the candidate’s ability to write, that flies in the face of reality.
