E-mailing resumes
Despite the extensive use of technology today, I would say that the traditional cover letter/resume through the mail is the way to go.
Most people making hiring decisions at firms are on the average older and less technologically oriented. Further, taking the time to write, print and mail a letter shows a certain amount of interest and effort that an e-mail just doesn't convey.
Finally, with e-mail, it's way too easy to forget you exist or to delete your message and the hiring contact has to make some effort to print out what you send for a file. With a hard copy document, you at least get something physically on their desk, and I think its more likely to get noticed and to get some sort of response.
Best of luck.
