OuterNotes: Queries and Resumes

  1. CNNfn.com Offers Advice on E-Mail Resumes
  2. An Online Editor Explains the Ideal Query

CNNfn.com Offers Advice on E-Mail Resumes http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2001/01/30/career/q_weddle/

Peter Weddle, an author of seven books and ongoing columnist for The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition and CNNfn.com, is responsible for fathering concepts such as "Human Capital" and "Career Fitness." His recent "Tips for your E-Mail Resume," CNNfn.com article provides practical step-by-step technical guidelines for pasting and e-mailing resumes to prospective employers. Since almost half of U.S. employers now prefer to receive candidate resumes via the Internet," freelancers (and other job seekers) will find Weddle's advice useful for correspondence -- by following his advice it's possible that a job seeker's resume will actually reach its intended destination in a readable form that will evoke a reply.

An Online Editor Explains the Ideal Query
http://www.newsjobs.net/articles/0008.asp

A crucial communication for editors and writers is the query e-mail. Ken Gordon, Associate Editor for 1099 (a magazine for independent professionals), relays six of his best tips on how not to annoy an editor beyond belief when sending along clips. His observations on the pros and cons of e- and snail mail, links to Web-based clips, faxes, diskettes, and Word documents are useful and humorous; he also has some unique insights on why text cut-and-pasted into an e-mail can also raise his "editorial aggravation meter" to new heights.
--Karin Call
