Do you include a copy of your resume when handing in a job application?

Question

Or do you wait until the interview to show them your resume?

Answer 1

I would include it. It might make the difference in getting the interview to begin with. And you should bring one to the interview as well. Even though they have the copy you submitted with that application, it shows organization and a desire to get the position.

Answer 2

Yes, include the resume with the job application. If you don't, there isn't likely to be an interview. At least, thats the way it is where I work. Good luck.

Answer 3

Absolutely. Your resume is your chance to tell your story to a potential employer. Applications are stock Q & A.

Answer 4

include the resume with application

Answer 5

I always include it. There is no way you can put the all info that is in your resume on an apllication.

When I hire, I look at the resume first.

Answer 6

You should include it with your application. It usually presents your information in a more readable format, with more detail about your actual experience. The application doesn't usually provide enough room. You want them to know as much about your experience as possible to secure that interview.

Answer 7

I hand in my resume with my application.

Answer 8

Always! Your resume tells more about you than a job application.
