Would it be concidered rude?
Asked by gettingby101
Would it be concidered rude to fax a copy of my resume to the company's in my line of work in my area? I have my own home fax. I would never fax from a employer my personal business. I was just thinking of a way to reach as many companies as I can as I live 40 miles out of any major city. I also realize in person is a better choice thats why I asked TY to all who answered.

if you are thinking about changing careers, and seen a vacant slot in a company that you wanted to pursue, give them a call first to confirm the vacancy then ask them if its okay if you fax your resume. but if you are asking to just fax your resume to every company that you think you can work, you shouldnt do it. you could also consider looking for a job online, lets save our trees. :)

Yes, it would be better to either hand deliver or mail it...If a fax came to me with a resume I would say this person is to lazy to bring it to me, or mail it...

It wouldn't be rude, but just don't fax or email. Go and give it to them, it shows that your determined.

To fax it from your current place of work? Probably, but it's also risky. Your current employer could probably find out. If your faxing from your own personal fax machine, then no. I guess I don't really understand the question.

Yes, unless you have spoken directly with the person responsible for hiring in the company and they have requested that you do so. Also send in a cover letter with your resume. Good luck!

Totally wrong and sometimes illegal. If they didnt make an offer the fine is around $1,500 dollars. Check your laws, sending over an unsolited fax is illegal.
Plus it doesnt work.

No, you can fax or e-mail your resume and ask to be considered for any job openings they may have that you would be suited for.

No. Many persons in the financial industry move around in order to move up. Sometimes you have to go out and get your promotions.

If you are sending resumes to companies that are not advertising an opening. absolutely do not fax it. Mail it with a cover letter. If you fax your resume without being asked, it will probably just end up in the trash.

I don't think it would be considered rude, but is that the 1st impression you want them to have of you? I wouldn't do a mass faxing, but try to customize it so that you'll get the response you want. good luck.

No, I don't think that it would be rude as long as you are not faxing it from your employer's fax machine. Also, as many posters before myself have mentioned, you could go one step further by hand delivering them. It offers a better presentation and may leave a better impression on the recruiter / HR representative.
You should also make sure you haven't signed anything with your current employer such as a "no compete clause", etc. That may hinder you from seeking employment with competing agencies.

I wouldn't call it rude, but you probably wouldn't get called for an interview..if you don't care enough to hand deliver it, or at least mail it to the H.R. person, they might consider it "junk mail"

If I get a faxed resume, and I am either not expecting it or haven't asked for it, it goes from the fax to the shredder. When we place ads, we say "apply in person". I figure if people can't read for comprehension, they're not qualified for the job.

No it would not be rude. Faxing or emailing you resume' to potential employers is a good ideal if you are seeking employment.

I don't know about being rude, but it doesn't seem very effective to me. I think mailing it would be better, with a cover letter addressed by name to the person in charge of hiring for that company. Faxing it is risky because you have no way of knowing who will receive that fax or what they'll do with it.
Also, I would want my resume presented well, printed on good paper, clear and easy to read, centred and straight. The quality of your fax will depend on the quality of the receiving fax machine, and that might not look very professional.

It is not only rude, but annoying to receive unsollicited resumes by fax... keep in mind that a potential employer should not have to pay for paper for your resume... I never even consider a resume that is sent by fax unsollicited. It goes straight to the garbage can... even if you send it from home!
