Reading
When your reference expresses a desire to know more about your qualifications and experiences to better assist you with an application, you might need to provide them with a copy of your resume. In this extension, you’ll learn how to save your resume as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file and email it as an attachment. PDF is a universally accepted file format that preserves the layout and formatting of your document, ensuring it appears the same regardless of the program used to open it. To begin, access your resume document and select “File” from the toolbar, then choose to download it as a PDF file. This file will be automatically saved to your computer. Locate the document in your Files and open your resume to confirm the download was successful.
Once your resume is saved as a PDF and ready to be shared, the next step involves emailing it to your reference. Start by opening Gmail and clicking on “Compose” to initiate a new email. Enter your reference’s email address in the “To” field and craft an appropriate subject line. Write a brief message explaining the purpose of your email. Before sending, it’s crucial to reread your message to ensure it is error-free. Attach your resume as a PDF file to the email. After reviewing everything, you can send the email. If you’re just practicing these steps for future use, save the email as a draft instead. Your task now is to save your resume in PDF format, attach it to an email, compose a message, and either send or save the email.
