What's the heaviest paper you should put a resume on?

Alison's Contribution:

I also recommend that you bring TWO copies of your cv with you to the interview - preferably the version you sent to that employer.... If it's not, just explain that you updated it last night. (I do however, print them out on 2 pages/ page so I have a Nil effect on the environment.)

The weight of the paper - I think 80gsm (photocopier paper) is sufficient, 100gsm if it is a REALLY senior post. Anything else strikes me as being either pretentious or wasteful... maybe not the impression the candidate expected to make.

Hope this helps.

All the best
