It is very rare but every so often an employer may decide to conduct an interview with you over email. With so many things to do online today including social media, advertising and live streaming amongst others, more and more employers are using the internet to do business online. It’s a good idea to update your resume and cover letter to keep up with the pace of the internet. Ensure you list phone numbers and email addresses at the top of your resume (if you’re using our resume builder this will automatically be arranged for you by our resume templates) and add any HTML links so an employer can view any of your work online. If you are a premium member of the Resume Surgeon service then you can host your resume online via your own URL – it’s good practice to share this with potential employers and also looks very professional.

We’ve already discussed how making an after interview follow-up call can increase your chances of employment. But you can also write a follow-up letter – often these will be read by your interviewer and they will automatically see your dedication and commitment. It will also demonstrate your eagerness for the role.
