听力原文: E-mailed resumes account for 32 percent of all submissions to potential employers, according to a new survey of 160 executives representing the country's 1,000 largest companies. And 45 percent of employers now prefer to receive resumes by e-mail according to Office-team, the employment center that conducted the study. That's a striking contrast to two years ago, when just 5 percent of respondents stated a preference for resumes via e-mail.
The poll also revealed that 21 percent of executives prefer getting resumes by mail, 11 percent prefer faxes, and the rest had no stated preference.
However, even with an informal medium like e-mail, job hunters should still pay strict attention to professional presentation of themselves. E-mails sent from a user name like "Fast-car" or "Sherlock" is a strict no-no, says Management Recruitment International, a staffing-service firm. And remember don't use an office e-mail account for personal business.
Other tips: ensure that the resume is in a format friendly to most brim, and send the document in both text and as an attachment, preferred by a brief cover letter. Also, include your name and the position you're interested in on the e-mail's subject line to distinguish your resume from others submitted.
