Always send your resume as an attachment, unless otherwise noted. .doc extensions are the most used. It is also a good idea to keep a simple text (not Enriched) version that you can copy and paste to the email directly when you are not allowed to send attachments or when pasting onto a website.
If you want your resume to look exactly like you have it, you will need to send it as an attachment. (When you compose an email go to Attach–>File).
However, many companies and employment services do not let you send resume as an attachment. Instead, you need to copy & paste it in. This is where you can get in trouble with formatting.
To avoid these formatting problems, you’ll need to format your resume as a “text” file, which means that you can only use plain text and no formatting. There are several guides online that can give you tips on creating your resume in a plain-text format. I linked one of them below.
