I know that when you physically mail a resume, you should include a cover letter, but when you email a resume should you include a cover letter in the same MS Word document and then have the resume on page 2? Should I just email the resume alone?

When emailing your resume, the cover letter is in the message. Just type on how you are "fit" for that position. You want the employer to read it, don't you. good luck.

Yes. Same as regular mail. Cover letter helps to draw interest to specifics of your resume and potential benefit to employer. It gives a reason for the employer to read your resume with more thought. Make the cover letter the first page of your MS Word document and the resume to follow on page 2-3 etc.

Definitely.... Your cover letter will distinguish you from the others.... Don't worry about the length of both the cover and the resume on an Emailed resume! There are no page breaks on emails so the recruiter won't notice as he/she would in a traditional "snail mail" resume.

Yes, the cover letter is the email body. The resume is the attachment.

It's not a big problem, but if you sent off a blank email with a resume file attached, you should sent the same resume file again attached to another email and fill in the text "cover letter" in the body of your email this time. If the recipient doesn't understand what happened and ignore your first email, you probably don't want to work for her anyway.

Either write a "cover letter" e-mail and enclose a copy of your resume, or enclose both documents with a brief note ("Enclosed please find my cover letter and resume for the position of.....") Both methods are correct although as an HR manager I prefer the first because it looks less "cut and paste."
