Here's a tip from an Old Pro...
If you want to get someone's attention - like the CEO of a Corporation - buy some of this nice paper and FedEx them a letter. Be very concise and economical with your words. One page only. Do your Spell and Grammar Checks (remember what Mark Twain said "better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt") print out on this lovely cottony paper and FedEx it over there. Worth the time? Think about it! Let's say that you own a small commercial janitorial service and you've been hoping to pick up a group of Starbucks stores. If you tried to send an email to Howard Schultz (or anybody) at HQ, you'd be lucky to even find their email address. And if you did, you'd get spam-blocked because you're one of one-thousand little grains of digital sand that hope to wash-up on the golden Starbucks shore only to be sucked-back into the sea of anonymity. On the other hand, how many unsolicited FedEx letters does Howard Schultz get every day? You'd be surprised! I can tell you from years and years of personal experience that if you put a nicely worded and professionally prepared business letter in someone’s hands, ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS - they read it! When i was first married I got mad at the crummy job Brinks Security Installers did at my house, so I wrote the CEO a letter. Two weeks later I'm drinking my coffee at 8:05 am one morning and the phone rings and this guy says "Mr Carey, I'm Joe Smith, CEO of the Brinks Corporation. I've got your letter here in front of me and it sounds like we didn't have a very good day when we were at your home recently. What can we do to fix that?" WTF? The CEO of Brinks is calling ME? I was a little shaken up, but we had a nice little conversation and YOU BETTER BELIEVE that the Regional Manager called me 30 minutes later to make an appointment to come out with the Installer and his Shop Boss to take a look at my Security System. They did such a great job I did not get ROBBED OR KILLED EVEN ONCE the whole time we lived in Dallas. So... take a little time and compose a nice letter to Mr. Schultz. Always say something flattering like, perhaps in this case, er, "Mr. Schultz Its really impressive what you little short guys can do when you put your mind to it." Something like that. Send it FedEx or Overnight Mail. Again… how many FedEx Letters do they get? (Howard if you read this it would be great if you could share a number with us). If you don’t want to spend $6.80 for an overnight letter (you cheep-o) then how about $.55 cents for a stamp. Even an old-fashioned letter is 1,000 times more impactful than an email. Is Howard Shcultz going to open this FedEx and read it? No - No chance. Is one of his assistants going to open it and put it in a pile with various unsolicited mail for him to scan? Yes, this is possible. Most people don’t write so Corporate Execs tend to look at letters as the “Canary in the Coal Mine” thing. It’s like free Market Research for them. Anyway… even if they don’t physically see it there is a very good chance that a Senior Aid will read the letter and hand-it-off to another executive in the company for Action. That person then sends it back on down-the-chain with a note that says “this letter come into Mr. Schultz office. Please get back to Mr. X and let me know what happened so I can report back”. And there you have it. One of my great secrets revealed. Don’t tell too many people. We don’t want EVERYONE to start writing letters. We want to be "the SPECIAL people... don't we?"

Nice feel, quality paper
Despite some of the negative reviews, the paper has a great feel and looks great when printing resumes or other important documents. Not fair to rate the product poorly because of shipping damage, my order was delivered in pristine condition and all sheets 100% usable.

Nice quality resume, cover letter and thank you note paper.
The Southworth Resume Paper is a very good quality paper. I purchased it for personal use, and the paper quality is excellent. Printing onto the paper is clean and good. The cotton fiber content makes the paper feel and look professional. The 24 lb. paper is a little thicker than the regular 20 lb. standard copy paper, so handling the paper gives a strong business feel to it which in-turn gives the professional feel and look. They come sealed in a hardcover box. The paper is watermarked. The paper works fine in my inkjet printer/copier, and it is acid-free and lignin-free. The paper will not yellow over time which makes it great archival paper. The paper is 100% cotton and Made in USA. I purchased the 100 sheet quantity package. Great for resumes, letters and notes that need to be on nicer quality paper. I recommend this paper, and I am happy with my purchase.

Great value for the money, sturdiness, and softness.
The sturdiness of this resumé paper is good enough for origami and stamps. I folded origami shirts and dresses to make art in a shadow box for a school auction project. The softness of the material was good enough for watercolors, absorbing the water did not make the paper tear either like it did with regular paper and paper made from just 25% cotton. When dry, the 100% cotton paper was able to be stamped and re-folded. This was a great value for the money. Our Kindergarten auction project was a big success thanks to this great material. I would imagine that it can perform it’s task well as a resumé paper.

El producto es de buena calidad pero en el título dice que es de 32lb (120gr) y te llega el de 24lb (90gr) al final me quede con el papel porque finalmente me sirve para otros proyectos pero deberían corregirlo para no engañar a la gente con algo tan importante como es el gramaje del papel.
