Im applying for a job as an accounting clerk and i have a question.... It appears that they would like me to email my resume and cover letter but what do i do about the part at the bottom of the cover letter where i would normally sign my name do i leave it out entirely? ive never emailed a resume before I've always did it in person

Just type in your sign-off (Regards, Yours Sincerely or whatever), space down a couple of lines and type in your name.
I would also check with the person asking for your resume if he/she prefers this sent in the e-mail message body or as an attachment (many people dislike opening up attachments for fear of computer viruses). It's a courtesy thing.
If an attachment is fine, try copying and pasting your resume into the same word document as your letter (just ensuring there is a page break between the two ...). This makes things easier for someone reading an applicant's e-mail to only open one attachment and not two (yet another courtesy thing).

If you have to e-mail the resume and cover letter, then make the body of the email be the resume/cover letter itself. This is because attachments can get tricky and not everybody is skilled to use them. Or...they might not have a certain programm.

See for yourself. Good luck
PS: the closing formula in a cover letter should be "Sincerely, John Doe"

You just type in your name. You always want your name on things so they know who sent it.
BTW If you run a recent version of Word, and you intend to use this cover letter again with small changes, make sure you get document-cleaning software and clean your documents of changes that show up as "hidden data". How embarrassing to not know that the old changes show up.

If they want both emailed, then just make sure you have your name printed at the bottom of the cover letter.

yes you can leave it out.. it isnt a formal document.. it is just an explanation of your job experience.. make sure your resume is one page, people dont like to read a lot of mumbo jumbo.. make sure it is important jobs.. with good description of what you did. try to personalize it to them as a company.. etc.. i took a course in resumes in college it was a part of the course.. but it helped alot.. make sure yours stands out.. with why you would make a good asset to their company.. make sure you put a section on the top with objectives (the spot where you put what you are looking for and why you would be a good candidate) good luck on job

If it is MS-word format you can insert a graphic of your signature if that makes you feel better. I normally just leave the correct number of spaces between the salutation and my name to insert a signature.

I have seen business people type in their name in italics where the signature would go. This indicates you know a signature would normally go there.
