"Another note on the approach—a resume attachment is fail on delivery." Is this true? Have I been screwing myself by sending a resume with all of those emails

  No. There's nothing wrong with attaching a resume. Charlie's got this one backwards.

    Right, I don't agree with this one either. He suggests sending your Linkedin profile. I actually attach a PDF export of my Linkedin bio (formatted much like a resume.) I'm sure a startup doing hiring doesn't want to spend a bunch of time logging into Linkedin and browsing through profiles until something interesting enough comes up to warrant further digging.

  As one of the many on the job hunt, I can say attaching a resume isn't poor form. I'm getting interviews, and these interviewers are calling my references. That said, it's a good idea to make sure the juicy highlights are shared between linkedin and your rez, and to include people who have recommended you via linkedin in your list of references.
