<p>Other people have attached their resume to the essay, apparently. When I applied I just sent in my essay and them emailed in my resume afterwards. I think you only get your application number AFTER you send in everything online, so you technically don’t need it for the essay if you are submitting it with your application. It is a helpful reference to have if you email anything to OAFA after this (i.e. your resume if you don’t put it with your essay).</p>
<p>What you could do is send both the essay and resume at once with the application, wait a few days, and then contact OAFA and make sure that they have everything and it is ok. If not, you can always email it to them at that point.</p>
