How to Email a Resume

By
When you're sending an email resume, it's important to follow the employer's instructions on how to submit your cover letter and resume. The employer may want your resume attached to the email message and sent in specific format, typically as a Microsoft Word document or a PDF.
When applying for employment via email, copy and paste your cover letter into the email message or write your cover letter in the body of an email message.
Sending Your Email Resume
If the job posting asks you to send an attachment, send your resume as a PDF or a Word document. If you have word processing software other than Microsoft Word save your resume as a Word (.doc) document. File, Save As, should be an option in your program.
To save your document as a PDF, depending on your word processing software you may be able to File, Print to Adobe PDF. If not, there are free programs you can use to convert a file to a PDF.
Some employers do not accept attachments. In these cases, paste your resume into your email message as plain text. Use a simple font and remove the fancy formatting. Don't use HTML. You don't know what email client the employer is using, so, simple is best because the employer may not see a formatted message the same way you do.
The Subject Line of Your Email Message
Make sure you list the position you are applying for in the Subject Line of your email address, so the employer is clear as to what job you are applying for.
Include Your Signature
Include a signature with your contact information, so it's easy for the hiring manager to get in touch with you.
Send a Test Email Message
Attach your resume, then send the message to yourself first to test that the formatting works. Open the attachment so you are sure you attached the right file in the right format and it opens correctly. If everything looks good, resend to the employer.
Double Check Your Email Message
Make sure you spell check and check your grammar and capitalization. They are just as important in email messages as in paper correspondence.

Employment Services-Placement Overseas

By
Placement Overseas from New Delhi is providing services in technical and non technical man power services from India to Abroad.      With an abundant labour surplus, the government of Indonesia officially organizes placement of workers abroad. To a great extent this effort assists the workers and substantially increases their welfare. Differences in the level of economic development and differential in the level of wages and salaries make it possible to attract Indonesian workers to work abroad. However, since the qualifications of the workers are still low, the great majority (75%) of Indonesian workers can only access informal sector opportunities, especially domestic household duties, e.g. cleaning, cooking, child care, gardening or driving.
