Multiple CVs

[devendra]

I am applying for a job by e-mail to various companies, but this idea does not seem to be successful. Now I would like to send multiple faxes of my CV to various companies at the same time. How can I do it?

You can have a fax modem installed on your computer, so that you can send out faxes in the same way that you send an e-mail. However, if you're sending out unsolicited CVs, it would be best to send them by post to the HR department of larger companies. This may sound a bit old-fashioned but some organisations are still behind the times and prefer a more traditional approach to recruitment.

These days job competition is high and sending out block CV's is not the way to get that job. Phone the company first find out the name of the HR or personnel officer and address your e-mail direct to that person. This earns you 1 brownie point and gets your application past all those that are unsolicited as your have previously been. Next tailor each CV to the particular company. Each company is different so think what you have to offer them. If you don't know then how will they. Finally read your CV as if you were the employer reading dozens of CV's each day. Does your CV catch your attention in the first five lines if not you can be sure someone else's will then they get the job and not you.
Hope this helps good jobhunting
