Never staple a resume to a second page or cover letter unless specifically asked to do so because the staple prevents the reader from placing the pages side-by-side to view the entire resume at once. Staples also present a problem when the document needs to be copied or faxed and will likely be removed resulting in an unattractive hole in your resume.

A traditional metal paper clip is acceptable for attaching multiple items together (i.e. cover letter, resume, references) but is not necessary for a two page resume. Be sure all of the pages include your name and pages other than the first include a page number so the pages can easily be reconnected should they be separated.

When mailing a resume to a prospective employer, place the resume in an envelope large enough so that pages do not require folding.
