First of all have you set up your email to use Windows Mail? If not then
follow the instructions on my website:
http://vistasupport.mvps.org/adding_an_email_account_to_windows_mail.htm
If you have already set up your email account the, open Windows Mail and
click on the New Message option. In the new message window type out your
message. When you have finished typing your email, then Click the 'paperclip
icon on the main tool bar. This is the attach file icon. I assume that your
CV has been saved as a Doc file or something similar (depending upon the
word processing software you use to create your CV). When you click the
paperclip icon the 'open' window will appear. I assume you have saved your
CV to the Documents folder so your CV should appear in this window. If I
doesn't then browse to the directory/folder where you saved your CV. Once
you've located your CV click on it and it will then be 'attached' to your
email. All you need do then is Click the Send button to send your email and
CV on its way.
One point worth remembering. If you used Microsoft Word 2007 to create your
CV make sure you have saved he CV in Word 97-2003 format. This will append
the file with a .doc extension (word 2007 appends with a .docx extension
which means if the person you are sending your CV to doesn't have Word 2007
he/she will be unable to open it without a word 2007 viewer (available from
Microsoft). If you use the standard .doc (word 97-2003) file extension your
future employer should have no problem viewing your CV.
