One final tip:
Don't name your resume file resume.doc, resume.pdf, resume.txt or resume.html! Employers and agencies have to deal with numerous files. The standard convention is to use your first initial, last name and the file extension. For example: kchioco.doc, kchioco.pdf, kchioco.txt or kchioco.html.
