Heres my question:
Im going on job interviews this week and I have a resume already written and ready to go, however Im not sure how to turn it in to them. Do I just hand them the peice of paper with my resume printed on it or do I get some sort of folder to go with it? I want to look as professional as possible and I want my resume to be in the correct presentation format. I really need to get one of these jobs, please help.

I would put it in a folder. Go to Office Max and find a really nice folder, don't get a bright or childish folder. You just need something nice and simple and professional-looking.

I'll probably go against the flow here.
Put it in a nice leather portfolio that you would keep your interview notes in and just hand them the paper at the start of the interview, if they don't already have a printed copy. Nothing messes up my files more than having the little covers sticking out, so I wind up tossing the covers. In fact, I cannot remember being impressed by a cover, and to my knowledge I only ever hired ONE person who put their resume in a cover.
Make sure the paper is a nice parchment or linen, and your formatting impeccable!
The only time I would say to put a cover on is if you are applying for a PR or Marketing or Design position. Then appearance is everything.

If you are looking at a job in an office environment, professionalism is a must. Put it in a clear soft folder, it will make it stand out (won't get lost in with all the others) and they are very cost effective. It may also pay to have your photo copied on to it so that they remember who you are. Just make sure you mention you experience, previous jobs, how great you are, schooling and references. Never more than 2 pieces of paper. Also, don't include any jobs that are not relevant to the position.
Good luck, hope you get a great job.

There are resume covers that you can buy at Office Depot. Just make sure that the resume page matchs the color of the cover. It's not necessary to put it in a cover though.

you have already got your interview; it fairly is sweet. do not undertaking approximately your resume. oftentimes human beings deliver in resumes to get companies to grant them an intereview. it fairly is the 1st step in exhibiting somebody your qualifications. you're already previous that component. once you get on your interview, they oftentimes consistently have you ever fill out an application. sometimes it fairly is at your first interview until now you bypass in or sometimes that's until now your 2d interview. that's different everywhere you bypass. it fairly is going to likely be your typical, accepted application. in case you're insistent on having a resume than use an "get admission to point" resume. it is what you may use and via this order... First final call highway tackle city, State, Zip telephone (Landline or cellular) e mail tackle preparation interior the preparation element of your resume, checklist the colleges you attended, any tiers you attained, and any specific awards and honors you earned. journey This element of your resume incorporates any artwork historic previous. checklist the companies or human beings you labored for, dates of employment, the positions you held and a bulleted checklist of household initiatives and achievements. qualifications incorporate qualifications on the subject of the area / profession field which you're employing for i.e. computing device qualifications, language qualifications.

ur best bet is to put a cover page on the resume, this looks professional and then hand it in, if they ask for it then hand it to them if they dont, try saying "would you like to see my resume" or just hand it in with the applications you filled out, hope i was helpful

I do not think you need a special folder.
