You have several options for moving a copy of your resume to your smartphone. First, you can connect your smartphone to the computer that has the original copy of your resume using a USB cable. That allows you to access the internal storage of your mobile device through your computer. Simply open your resume, choose the “Save As” option, select your smartphone as the destination, and save the document.
Alternatively, you can email yourself a copy of your resume. By sending the document to an email address that’s accessible through your phone, you can download your resume directly to your mobile device.
In either case, you have a copy of your resume that’s accessible through your smartphone. Then, you can email it to recruiters or attach it when applying for jobs directly through your mobile device.

Otherwise, recruiters who previously received the link won’t see the resume version you sent to them originally, which may cause some confusion.
