Avoid Over-Using Email

It has become habit for the corporate world to use email much more than standard mail. But when you are job hunting, email is a bad idea.
Email Overuse

It is too easy for hiring managers to ignore email and delete your resume. When you are making first contact, use standard mail or hand-deliver your resume.
