What’s the difference between a faxed resume and an emailed resume?

I have to send out a resume to jobs I am applying to, but a lot of employers want resumes to be faxed rather than email. I don’t have a fax machine, which is why it is easier for me to just send it by email. It is inconvenient to go somewhere and pay to get my resume faxed. I can’t afford a fax machine right now, so this makes things worse. What is the difference between a resume sent by fax and one sent by email?

If you fax it, then they don’t have to print it. They can simply have someone pick up the faxes and distribute them. If you want the job, you’ll fax copies in. Plus, employers don’t want hundreds of emails clogging up their inbox.

    What’s the difference between a faxed resume and an emailed resume? 1995 and 1996 is what the difference is ;-) Just kidding. There are programs out there that can enable you to send a soft-copy document to a fax machine. Please check out the links I put in the sources or Google for “Send Fax from Computer”
