How to Address a Resume Envelope

When addressing a resume envelope, it's important to ensure that it looks professional and is easy to read. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

1. Use a standard business envelope that is appropriate for the size of your resume.

2. Use a legible font, such as Times New Roman or Arial, and make sure the font size is large enough to be easily read. A font size of 10-12 is generally appropriate.

3. Include your full name and contact information in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope. This should match the contact information you have on your resume.

4. In the center of the envelope, write the name and address of the company you are sending your resume to. Use the appropriate title and full name of the person who will be receiving your resume, if you know it.

5. Make sure the address is correct and complete, including any department or suite numbers, if applicable.

6. Use standard abbreviations for directional cues (e.g., "N" for North, "Apt." for Apartment).

7. Use a legible return address in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope. This should match the address on your resume.

8. Use proper postage for the weight of the envelope.
