Folding a resume?

Nurses Career Support

Hi All,

I have my resume done, but I have read on a couple of sites that you should not fold your resume. What are your thoughts on this? If I do not fold it, what type of envelope should I put it into and it still look professional? Also, what should be mailed with my resume? Hospital application, cover letter and references all at the same time? Also, can I spray a little perfume on it so they will remember me? No, no I am just joking on the last one......;) Another question about my resume, do I mail one to the hospital or should I wait for an interview and then take it with me to the interview?

Thanks for any input!

I've seen plenty of folded resumes placed into legal sized envelopes, but if you are concerned, buy manila envelopes that fit a full page.
