E-mailing Resume format - Attachment or copy and paste?

Question:

What is the correct way to email a resume and cover letter? As a attachment, copy and paste into the body of the email? or both?

Answer:

Either is fine, but most common and preferred, is your cover letter/greeting in the body of the email and the resume attached.  If possible, the best option is to create a .pdf of your resume to send as an attachment.  By using a .pdf it is compatible with all computers and cannot be changed depending on the version of Microsoft Word that the end user is viewing the resume with.  Professional resume writing services will include a .pdf as part of the package.
