Question

What are the benefits of using a resume verses and application for job selection?

Answer 1

Usually you don't get to chose, it's the employer's option whether they accept resumes or require an application to be filled out. If an application is required, you can attach a copy of the resume, but you should fill out the application completely as well. You can check the company website, under the careers section, to see what they require for application.
