billing your job search to your current employer by Alison Green on September 11, 2007 Attention job applicants: When you FedEx me your resume and bill the cost to your current company, I can see that right there on the shipping slip. Why does anyone think this is a good idea? It’s another illustration of how even the little things you do during the application process matter.

Evil HR Lady* September 11, 2007 at 10:34 am Oh my. That seems like a really bad idea on so many levels. Hey, I send out tons of stuff via FedEx on the company account. No one would even question if my number went up a little in December. What a great way to send Christmas presents! (Please note, I am joking. I would never do such a thing, and until this instant never thought of such a thing.)
MakeAChangeResumes* September 11, 2007 at 2:49 pm Along those same lines, but not as horrible as costing the company money directly, are the folks who e-mail their resumes using their WORK e-mails — with their professional contact information at the bottom! Why would I want to hire someone who is applying to jobs at work?
