Dh has been looking for a new job. He left me a note to email his resume to someone. If I send the resume from any of my email accounts it will have my name and email address on them as the sender. I do not have access to his email account. I think it would be more professional if sent from his email account with his name instead of mine. Does it matter?

I agree with you. He needs to send it himself, give you access to his account, or set up an account for this purpose that you both have access to but has his name on it.

Yes. Although some email accounts allow you to choose the name you attach, so for one email, if you are able, you could change it to reflect his name as the sender.

It matters.
You might consider setting up an additional email to use for this purpose specifically.

Yes, it matters. If he can't be bothered to do it, does that mean you will be doing his job if we hire him? Not to mention, any communication back to him is going to go to YOU instead of him.
If nothing else, set up a gmail account in his name for job hunting that you both have access to.

It definitely matters. If possible, encourage your DH to set up a separate e-mail account specifically for job search related e-mails.

Yep, I agree, I needs to come from his email account.

If nothing else, set up a gmail account in his name for job hunting that you both have access to. Oh my gosh this. So much this. This has been a source of contention between dh and me for a very long time. He wants the job but wants me to do his resumes, cover letters and emailing of said items. His excuse? I'm home all day and he has to work. Keep in mind he doesn't leave for work until 12:30-1 pm. and gets home at 11:30 pm. His alarm goes off at 7 am. At least 5 hours that he can work on filling out applications and emailing resumes. I don't mind critiquing and correcting errors. I just don't think it's my job to do the work for him. I certainly wouldn't do it for dd.

Time to set the matter to rest and just not do any of the job application stuff anymore. That is very unprofessional of him, and clearly, not how a grown adult should be applying for jobs.
I agree with the rest of the peas that all job application stuff needs to come from his own email (or if you continue to do this stuff for him, one that is in his name).

So glad I have the support of you ladies and that it's something we can all agree on. Dh is not going to be happy when I tell him I didn't send the resume and why. He'll eventually get his knickers untwisted.

I agree with you too. Are you writing a cover letter?

I agree with you too. Are you writing a cover letter? Not even the cover letter-- just the general correspondence of the email. Unless the DH is planning to have scrapqueen send a blank email with nothing but the resume.

If nothing else, set up a gmail account in his name for job hunting that you both have access to. As soon as I read the OP I thought, why not just set up a gmail or yahoo account with his name. I have multiple email addresses (not including work email) that I use for different things. ETA: I just read your post that said you are doing resumes and cover letters too. Um, No the hell No. He is needs to do this himself because 1) he is a grown man and 2) needs to be responsible for what is being sent.

Agree. He should have a separate email.

He has a copy of his resume on his computer so he has no logical reason that he cannot send it himself. He was probably on his way out the door to work. No reason why he can't send it this weekend and they can have it for Monday when they are open for business. I've just grown tired of doing the work for him when he goes for another job. My give a shit meter broke some time ago. Plus I'm hot. And I'm pmssie. Not a good combination.

I think that if you do it for him, the potential employer will be able to tell that it is not in his "voice". That would not bode well for success.

To be totally honest with you..... If I received a resume from someone and it (obviously) came from his wife's email.... he probably wouldn't get the job. Seriously, you had wifey email your resume to me?!?!?!

The only way that would be acceptable is if you were mailing his resume to introduce him to one of your contacts. Otherwise, it just looks lazy and possibly technically old fashioned(like people who have a joint email address, joint facebook account, etc.).

No that is completely unprofessional. Why isn't he sending his resume himself?

Sure send it for him, I'm 99% sure you'll never hear from the Company again though.
Way for him to look like he's either not really interested in the job, or that he has no clue about the open position and wifey wants him to apply for it.
