Turn it to a PDF and then send it.

Print it out and put into a business envelope and send either Registered mail or Delivery Confirmed mail (Cheapest). Then you know what it look like when they get it and you know when they got it. Then you can wait about a week and do a follow up to ask how they felt and if they are considering a personal interview.
You can also get their Fax number and Fax it, then it print out on the Fax machine and you know they had to at least touch it.
I am proud that you are actually learning to spell, most people will depend on spell checker all their life and never learn, but, for your Resume you may want to spell check and then proof read for context, also, have a family member or friend read to help. Spell checker will see "Threw" as correct when "Through" is the proper word for context.

I had this same problem. Be sure to send it with a cover letter, and mention that the resume is attached. The best way I have found is either sending a Word version or PDF. If you want to make a Pdf version, you can visit Adobe.com and they allow up to five free document conversions. Good look in the job hunt!

I would suggest not sending a resume through e-mail. It is tacky and impersonal. What ever happened to showing up in a suit and handing a resume to a prospective employer?
I digress.
If you have to send it through e-mail, make it into an .rtf file. (You can do this from Microsoft Word) That way the employer will be able to read it in any word processing software that they have. (Believe it or not, some offices don't have Microsoft Word.) Be careful with a PDF if you are using fonts that aren't default. You must imbed them for them to show up how you want 'em. (Of course, I would also suggest using default fonts. Don't do anything to encourage non-readability.)

I am in IT, so supposedly I am dealing with the most technologically savvy people out there. The headhunters and employers specifically request that I send my resume as a Microsoft Word file that I have attached to the e-mail.
How you attach your Word resume depends on what program you use to do e-mail. I would go to the "Help" and look under "Attachments" to find out how you have to do it for your e-mail program.

The best way is to send it as an attachment in a word document form. This way, the alignment won't be messed up. If you just send it in message form, there's a good chance that the alignment will be off.

Send your resume as an attachment, in MS Word format.

just send it as a word doc. If you have it saved on your computer, most likely it is in MS Word format. I would just start a new email, attach the file, and send it on its merry way. Should be no problems at all.

I would suggest sending it as an attachment in a Microsoft Word format. (.doc). Most places have MS Word or some thing that can open / convert it.

I send mine here in Italy or to the UK as a word attachment and they always get them.

I've never had trouble attaching it as a word document. Just make sure you spell check everything or have someone else read it over.
