resumé // business card // coverletter // envelope + mailing label // thank you // leave behind // online portfolio //

You have spent all this time on your resume and business card don't forget how are you going to mail it. Package it in a professional manner do not stick it in a regular envelop. Find one or make one. How does one open it?

T I P S::
What ever you do make sure you MAIL IT TO YOURSELF BEFORE you mail to to anyone else. It is the easiest way to check if you have violated any postal regulations, check the postage and see how it holds up in the mail. A SQUARE envelope will always cost you more. Once you know the cost you can buy stamps online they have the best selection.

Mailing label
should match your system, where does it go on the envelope? does it wrap around?

your name and address
less important than who you are mailing it to. smaller and clearly a return address

addressee: Company Name, attn: Spell It Correctly, address
always check the spelling, always get a name of who you should send it to.
Do not just address it to a company.
