A text version is required if you are conducting your job search via the Internet. This version enables you to send your resume and cover letter via email to potential employers or post to job boards or resume banks. Basically, it is reformatting to comply with standards presented by emerging technologies during electronic transmission There are a few reasons why you shouldn't email your document as an attachment. Viruses are being transferred from one computer to another so quickly and easily. Some viruses can wipe out a complete hard drive; so most companies are leery about opening attachments. Yes, I know, there is virus protection software available and I would like to think that most companies and individuals use some sort of protection, but still strangers will NOT open attached documents. In fact, there are businesses that have strict rules about NOT downloading attachments. Compatibility... not everyone uses MS word, so don't assume the recipient of your email will have it. It would be very rare if a hiring manager or recruiter would take the time to email you back to let you know they operate Macintosh, not word. They will simply use that easy to use DELETE key. Everyone is busy, so don't assume that the recipient will open your attachment - I know it only takes a few seconds for the documents to open, but you must remember how many emails a hiring manager may get in a day. To them, these minutes may accumulate into an hour, so why take the risk of having it deleted. A text document is right in the body of the email. They have no choice but to see it. In addition, if it catches their attention, they will read it. If you try to cut and paste from an MS Word document the text will look all "messed up" and will not be formatted correctly.
