How To Format Your Resume For Internet Job Searching

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:03:26 +0000

Email resumes…Web resumes…HTML resumes…Scannable resumes… Keyword resumes…Text resumes…ASCII resumes…PDF resumes…Word resumes…Traditional resumes…

A resume is a resume, right? But then, what are all these different types of resumes you keep hearing about? If you are confused and not quite sure what is being referred to when you hear all these different names for resumes, you are certainly not alone!

Over the past decade, the most common resume-related questions asked by job hunters have progressively shifted. While still of major importance, the majority of queries are no longer about functional versus chronological resume styles, whether to keep or remove experience from twenty-five years ago, or whether to include dates of education. With the advent and subsequent explosive increase in the use of the Internet during the job search, questions have turned overwhelmingly to issues of electronic resume creation and transmission.

What are the different types of electronic resumes?

What are the differences between an e-mail resume, a scannable resume, and a web resume?

How do I know which resume format to use?

How do I format my electronic resume to ensure that the recipient can read it?

No wonder there is so much confusion! In just a few short years, there has been a complete revolution in the tools and techniques of job hunting. As applicant tracking technologies have come into common use among headhunter firms, large corporations, and even mid-size and small businesses, recommended resume formats and methods of transmission have rapidly evolved with the advancing technologies. Further complicating things, have been the increasing availability of personal web space for online resume portfolios and biographies.

What does this mean for today’s job hunter? While the Internet has opened unprecedented doors of opportunity in the job search process, for those who have not taken the time to learn and apply the rules it can mean disaster!

While few job hunters have time to spend months studying the most recent technologies and recommendations for the creation of electronic resumes, before venturing onto the Internet with your resume it is critical that you take the time to learn and understand a few simple concepts. Knowing your audience and the formats most acceptable by those audiences are essential pieces of knowledge for the Internet job hunter.

The human reader – The traditional, printed, hard copy resume (yes, it does still have a primary place in job hunting!) is created to attract the human eye and attention. With the advantages of word processing applications, sophisticated formatting is possible and should be applied strategically to create eye-appeal and draw the readers’ attention to key qualifications.

The computer reader – The electronic or computer-optimized resume is designed, first and foremost, to be readable by the computer. There are several types of electronic resumes, but the common element of all is the ability to be searched by keyword. Of course, once your resume has been tagged as matching a keyword search, it will be reviewed by a human. So compelling, easy-to-read content is just as important in the electronic resume as in the traditional resume.

Miss these points and the effects could be devastating…you might send out hundreds of resumes only to sit at home and wonder why nobody, not even one company or headhunter, has called you for an interview. There are fundamental formatting differences between traditional and electronic resumes. If you do not understand these differences, your resume will make it into very few – if any – resume databases.

RESUME FORMATS

What are the differences between keyword, scannable, web, traditional, and text resumes?

Traditional resumes are designed, as already noted, to compel the human reader, through persuasive language and design, to take further action and call you for an interview. Layout and page design are critical and should be planned strategically to draw the eye to areas of emphasis. The most effective traditional resumes are focused on achievements and written in powerful, active language that captures and holds the attention of the reader.

Scannable resumes — also a printed, hardcopy format — are designed primarily for accurate scanning into a computer. Captured as an image, scannable resumes are fed through OCR (optical character recognition) software that reads and extracts the text. The extracted text is databased for storage and later recalled by keyword from an applicant tracking system. Scannable resumes are very rarely requested any more. If you are asked for a scannable resume, the most efficient option is to email the requestor your plain ASCII text resume (described next).

Text resumes (also referred to as ASCII resumes) are just what the name implies, an ASCII-formatted version of either your traditional or scannable resume. Text resumes are universally readable on all computer systems and platforms and are the preferred format when you are emailing your resume. An ASCII resume received in email can be entered directly into an applicant tracking system without the added step of needing to scan it. Entry into the system is fast, easy, and accurate and so many employers and recruiters prefer this format.

The phrase “keyword resume,” as it was first used, referred most often to either a scannable or text resume that incorporated a focus on nouns and phrases that employers were likely to use when searching for an applicant. Sometimes the keyword resume had a section at the beginning or end that listed the keywords separated by commas or periods. Today, there is no need to maintain both a keyword and a non-keyword resume. Keywords have become such an essential element in resumes that you should ensure that every version of your resume, whether meant for the human or the computer reader, incorporates the keywords most important in your field or industry.

Still confused? My recommendation is to simply maintain two separate versions of your resume:

Traditional resume – If you wish to send a hardcopy, paper version of your resume you should send your traditional resume. Traditional resumes are most often stored on your computer as a computer file and printed on an as-needed basis. For example, you will want to print at least several copies of your resume to carry with you and hand out at interviews. You may also be asked to send your traditional resume via email to a recruiter or employer. In these cases, you should have your traditional resume saved in the two most commonly asked for file formats: MS Word and Adobe PDF. You can then attach the requested file or files to an email message and send it to the requestor to be printed on the receiving end.

By far, you’ll find that the most requested format for your traditional resume is MS Word. If you comply with the request, be aware that your formatting may be incompatible with the recipient’s system. While usually still readable, fonts and bullet sizes and styles may be different from what you intended. These problems can be minimized, although not always eliminated, by embedding the fonts into the document. This is a simple process, and the MS Word help files will guide you through it. You should also take care, while writing and designing your resume, to use design elements that are default and standard on most systems. For example, it is not wise to use a fancy, custom font on your resume that you know will be emailed. Default fonts such as Garamond, Helvetica, Book Antiqua, or Verdana are better choices.

To eliminate issues with compatibility, if the recipient has the free Adobe Reader installed, Adobe PDF is the best format in which to send your traditional resume. The PDF version of your resume will appear on the recipient’s system precisely the way it appeared on your system. For this reason, if given the choice of sending an MS Word file and Adobe PDF file, always opt for Adobe PDF. However, many recruiters and employers still prefer the MS Word file format, because this is the format they are most familiar with.

ASCII text resume – If you conduct any portion of your job search on the Internet, ASCII-formatted resumes are critically important tools. Always have an up-to-date ASCII text version of your resume on your computer. This is the fastest way to contact potential employers and to apply for jobs advertised online. You must also have a text version of your resume if you wish to post in online resume databanks.

As previously noted, employers rarely request scannable resumes anymore. If they utilize an applicant tracking system, they will likely request that your resume be e-mailed, either as ASCII text or as an attachment. E-mail allows the recipient to enter your resume directly into the database, eliminating the extra steps of scanning and OCR.

How do you use these file formats and transit them to recipients via email? My recommendation is to actually attach the MS Word or Adobe PDF file to the email in its native file format. Then, ALSO copy and paste the text of your ASCII text resume into the body of your email (where you would normally type a message), along with a letter of introduction or other note explaining why you are sending the resume.

A final type of electronic resume is the web resume, also known as the online resume. Created using HTML, your web resume may be uploaded to space provided by a web-hosting provider. Eliminating the compatibility problems associated with word-processed resumes sent as e-mail attachments, web resumes offer the advantage of maintaining layout and design on the systems of anyone with a web browser. Available for viewing around the clock, conveying a technology-savvy image, and allowing the ability to add supporting content to your resume (effectively creating an online portfolio promoting your qualifications), web resumes are becoming a progressively important tool in the job search. The creation of a web resume or resume portfolio is far beyond the scope of this article, but if web resumes are an electronic format that interest you, be aware that many service providers have begun offering web resume design and hosting at affordable prices.

Preparing Internet Resumes

What do I need to know about writing keyword resumes?

Remember – it is absolutely essential that you create resume content that is keyword rich regardless of the file format. It is not necessary that you maintain a separate keyword version of your resume. ALL resumes must include a heavy emphasis on keywords. Keywords are generally defined as nouns or phrases that an employer will use when searching for an applicant with your skill set. To maximize the recall of your resume in a search, you will want to use as many keywords in your resume as possible.

1. Keywords should focus on technical and professional areas of expertise, industry-related jargon, and your work history. Also, include the names of associations and organizations of which you are a member.

2. Whenever possible, use synonyms of keywords in different parts of your resume and if you use initials for a term in one section, spell the term out in another.

3. Always be specific. For example, while it may be fine to include the phrase “computer literate,” you will also want to list the specific software that you are proficient in using.

This is one of the most common areas of confusion, so I’ll state it once again…the content of a keyword resume does not need to differ from the content of your traditional resume. With careful attention to rhythm and flow, it is possible to prepare a resume that is keyword optimized, but that also includes the powerful, compelling, active language of a traditional resume. Not only will this simplify your resume preparation, but it will ensure that the content of all versions of your resume will be optimized for both the computer and the human reader. Furthermore, if you incorporate a professional summary and bulleted list of qualifications in the text of your resume, there is little if any need to prepare a separate keyword summary.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to recommend a specific list of the best keywords to use in your resume, as the “best” keywords are different for every individual and depend mainly on your unique career objective and background. What is certain, however, is that a well-prepared keyword resume is so critical to your success in a job market that largely relies on electronic applicant tracking systems, if you have any doubts at all you should consult with a professional resume writer.

How do I prepare an ASCII text version of my resume?

Preparing the all-important ASCII text version of your resume is not difficult, but it does require a learning curve. Once converted to ASCII format, you will be able to email your resume in response to an ad or paste it directly into web-based forms and submit it to Internet resume databanks. The specific directions will vary depending on the software you have installed on your computer. But, in general, to prepare your ASCII resumes properly, follow these simple steps:

1. Using your word processing program, open your word-processed resume and use the “Save As” function to save a copy as a “Text Only” or “ASCII (DOS)” document. Title your document with an easily distinguishable name; perhaps “resume_internet.txt”

2. Close your word processing program and re-open the ASCII file. You will not be able to see your changes until you have done this. Note that it has been stripped of virtually all original formatting.

3. Go through your new ASCII document line-by-line. Align all text flush to the left-hand margin.

4. Remove all “centering,” “right hand margin,” and “justification” alignments.

5. Although you should no longer see them, if visible, remove all graphics, artwork, and special character formatting.

6. Remove all tab characters.

7. Remove all columns.

8. Replace bullets with a simple ASCII asterisk (*).

9. Carefully check the spelling and the accuracy of your data.

10. If you wish, use ASCII characters to enhance the appearance of your resume. Asterisks, plus signs, or other keyboard characters can be used to create visual lines that separate sections of your resume and make it easier to read.

The above steps convert your resume to ASCII without line breaks. When pasted into a web-based form or email message, your resume will automatically wrap to the size of the window.

Your new ASCII resume will be universally readable, no matter what computer system the recipient uses. It will also be easy to manipulate for entry into applicant tracking databases, eliminating the inherent difficulties of scanning and converting your paper resume with OCR systems.

There is no denying that the Internet has caused what was once a straightforward process to become complex and confusing to many job hunters. Yet, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Like never before, as a job seeker you have immediate access to announcements and advertisements of openings around the globe. You have the ability to conduct detailed research on companies of interest. And you have unprecedented opportunity to cost effectively promote your qualifications to hundreds or even thousands of hiring authorities of just a tiny fraction of the cost of doing so through traditional methods. While the new skills you must learn may seem daunting at first, by understanding the concepts and creating your electronic resumes, you are well on your way to an efficient, effective Internet job search.

Don’t Lie on That Resume!

Tue, 25 May 2010 00:40:10 +0000

Ever since we were kids, we quickly realized that perhaps not telling the entire story of an incident could be beneficial in the short-term. Whether it was taking an item from a sibling or maybe how that candy bar magically appeared after a trip to the store. Kid’s stuff we say. However, while most of us agree that being honest and never lying is always the best policy at work and our personal lives, there are still some areas that many people feel the need to be less than straightforward.

Writing a Resume Outline

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:58:59 +0000

We write a resume outline for fear of leaving all sorts of details out. If the resume is bad, the chances to land a job are virtually nil. Don’t underestimate the power of the first impression, and the resume works as a self-marketing strategy. Hence, a winning resume has to send the message the company is interested in, proving you to be a valuable employee and the right person to contribute to the business welfare.

Lots of resumes look good, but only few of them pass the scrutinizing eye of a manager. In fact, recruiters and employers only scan the resume and discard those applicants that don’t have their key details visible and highlighted. Wording is therefore just as important as the resume outline. The sketch or the outline can be started from a simple sketch or a ready made template. Only then should you continue with resume writing.

Many professional resume writers insist on the tendency to replace the traditional resume objective with the resume profile because the impact on the reader is a lot higher. Therefore, make sure that this paragraph is well structured and integrated in the economy of the resume, so that it should all sound like an advertisement. In fact, marketing rules apply to this form of writing because the skills, the competence and the work experience have to convince someone of the benefits.

Thus, if you follow the rule of the resume profile, you should make a very brief descriptions of skills and capabilities instead of counting your goals and achievements. There is no better way of catching a manager’s eye than by telling him/her what you have best to offer, and where it can be used. Vague and useless statements discredit a resume from the very beginning making the job almost out of reach.

Work results make one other important aspect to include in the resume outline, even if the position of this paragraph in the resume is often incorrect. Although you may have problems integrating them in the economy of the resume, some of the online tips could prove very useful. Besides the resume profile, the contribution you have had for the development of your former employers is the element of the highest interest in the entire resume. Don’t be general when it comes to expertise, exact details are the kind of info employers are after.

Composing a Sample Resume

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:58:59 +0000

Can a sample resume help you get an interview? Well, the purpose of most online resumes with their adjacent formats, templates and patterns, is to assist people create a successful work presentation thus targeting a specified job. The job requirements vary from one industry sector to another, and a resume sample cannot cover all the domains of activity specific to the multitude of job seekers. Therefore, a sample is a sample, and it needs to function as such: it should not be copied or taken for granted as the best solution for getting a job. Such free materials available online provide you with an outline or an idea about what a good resume should look like.

Marketing strategies and creativity are two important factors that help one self-advertise successfully. Before taking a sample resume as the main model for writing your own resume, it is a good idea to have a look over all sorts of tips and suggestions related to resume writing. You’ll certainly discover the fact that the resume strategies differ depending on the career history. People with lots of jobs from different activity domains should write another kind of resume in comparison with those with a level career evolution.

Impressing the employer: this is the whole point of resume writing; you are introducing yourself in the best way possible. Sometimes a single sample resume is not enough to provide the expected marketing quality. Stop considering resume writing as a burden or an obstacle and direct your efforts towards learning how to do it. The message you send otherwise is very unrewarding: either that you don’t care what kind of job you get as long as it is paid, or that you don’t bring enough benefits to the company that would hire you.

Consequently, just one sample resume may not be enough to help you write a good document: you may need to look for several patterns to compare and even combine. You could even use different formats or templates for an identical resume content, in order to check which model brings more interviews. And last but not least, do not ignore all sorts of tiny details that could turn into huge blunders that get you disqualified from the very beginning: spelling mistakes, repetitive phrases, big words and unclear expressions give a very bad credit.

How To Make Your Resume Objective Stand Out

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:52:58 +0000

The part of the resume in which the applicant defines his or her career plans is known as the resume objective. Normally, the section of the resume objective follows the initial part that contains the personal details: name, address, phone, email and so on. The writing of this resume paragraph is subject to some rather strict rules that should not be overlooked if you want to get a job interview.

First of all, you should not write more than three sentences for the resume objective. This tiny resume section is meant to get your potential employers’ attention and achieve a positive reaction from their part. Therefore, you should take some time to plan and outline the things that need be mentioned when defining the objective. Mainly, you should focus on the work experience, qualifications and skills that make you good for the job.

In case you lack work experience, or you try to take a career shift, the resume objective has to keep the reader focused on the future and not refer him/her back to your work history. Otherwise, a linear career development, the work history supports, confirms and complements the resume objective. Therefore, you ought to write the resume objective considering your individual condition and everything that it involves.

Then, the resume objective has to send the message that you make the best candidate for the job. And the first line of the paragraph has to make this obvious. Don’t be boastful or self-centered; instead, use direct and concrete terms to refer to yourself. Finally, when applying for several companies, you will have to create a resume objective for each of them to match their purposes and get to an interview.

The resume objective needs to be directed at the precise job that you are after and not at any position. Too broad and vague explanations never get read because nobody wants to waste time with irrelevant sentences. They would in fact send a negative message about you. What you can do in terms of word choice is to use some terms that sound well and make the resume objective interesting.

How To Use a Free Form Resume

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:42:59 +0000

The Internet makes the richest source of free resume form models to use for job applications. There are many sites that provide plenty of free information on how to create a business successful resume. The use of the free resume form could often become a priceless tool when one lacks linguistic creativity. Without a real writing skill, it is normal to prefer resume samples to individual original creations.

The great part is that a free resume form will get your through all the content items that need to be dealt with. Depending on the kind of form you choose, you will see that most of them are the fill in type. Other items on a basic free resume form include past work experience, education or qualifications and general expertise. If the part of the personal details is not too insisted on by employers, the qualifications and the work experience will be minutely scrutinized.

And here, the advantage of using a free resume form is that it guides you step by step through all the stages of creating an optimal statement for the employer. If past trainings and former positions can prove relevant for the job you apply for, then the job responsibilities should be accurately described. An employer will look into this kind of information and choose the applicants accordingly. Special accomplishments and awards received during your career may also speak of high professional value and make you a good candidate for an interview.

Furthermore, a free resume form comes with a special section dedicated to the objectives you have set for your career. Moreover, the presentation of the educational details is often simplified by the use of an organized format with bullets and numbers so that a reader can easily get through it. Watch your language carefully too, because too informal expressions will characterize you as a bad choice for an employer.

Accuracy is another serious recommendation to follow whether you rely on a free resume form or not. If a sentence doesn’t say something relevant about you, then it doesn’t belong in the resume. Correct the resume for spelling mistakes and turn it off to the employer only after double-checking it.

Example Resume Tips

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:42:58 +0000

Resume writing is essential for finding a good job. Online samples or examples of resumes together with various templates and formats provide a rich source of inspiration for many job seekers. However, copying a resume is not exactly a good idea, because of the different employment situations that can vary from case to case. Reading some online reviews, identifying highlights and insisting on personal and professional achievements make the right course of action when trying to convince a manager to hire you.

The request for examples of resumes or ready-made samples has become so high that there are even companies specialized in professional resume writing. In fact, more than half of the items you can download in the resume section are authored by experts. The high emphasis placed on resumes has shaped the demand for ready-made models and patterns. Yet, even if they work as some kind of passports to open a company’s door for a job applicant, resumes are just the first step towards getting the employer’s attention.

Examples of resumes include some elements that are thought to be the ones managers and employers are after. Be prepared for open discussions of the resume points, once you have got the interview. Therefore, be accurate and truthful in everything you say. And even if some examples of resumes leave out references, they could serve your purpose very well as a first impact on the employer.

People also increase their search for examples of resumes when they are required to provide bilingual documents. Thus, there are recruiting companies that require applicants to file their resumes in their native language as well as in a foreign one, usually English or French. International companies will normally ask for this kind of skills because of the necessity to be fluent in communications with worldwide business partners.

Under such circumstances, the examples of resumes may prove a good source of information for the various language differences and structures that appear between resumes. Do not apply for such positions unless you meet all the requirements of the job. Applicants who claim to have skills they in fact lack, will be discarded even if they get to an interview. Therefore, it’s best not to waste anyone’s time.

Easy Ways To Make Yourself More Hire-able

Sat, 01 May 2010 00:39:00 +0000

Regardless of how long you’ve looked for a job (or how many jobs you’ve looked for), it’s always important to do whatever you can to make yourself more hire-able. This is something you can do even if you don’t have a lot of experience. So if you’re ready to kick your job search into high gear, here are some tips to consider …

Start Your Own Blog

One way to make yourself hire-able in the eyes of recruiters is to start your own blog. This improves your ability to find a career in several ways. First, it helps you to boost your web presence (which you need nowadays). Second, it helps show employers that you have knowledge in the field you’re attempting to make ground in (even if you don’t have experience). And third, it gives a ton of resources to offer prospective employers in the event that they ask for details about your background.

A blog is the perfect way to not only showcase your knowledge, but build knowledge as well. It’s the perfect transition for those trying to switch careers, or those entering the professional world for the first time. Blogs are free to start and maintain, too, so they’re a great option for job searchers on a budget.

Get a LinkedIn Page

Another great way to make yourself stand out among your competition is by signing up for a LinkedIn profile. You’ve probably heard of this great site for professionals, but if you haven’t, you’re really missing out. Not only can you create a virtual resume that is easily searchable via all of the search engines. But you can connect with other professionals for networking purposes and have those you’ve worked with before give you recommendations.

Hiring managers and job recruiters will consider you a much more credible candidate if you’ve got a well set up LinkedIn page. Taking a few hours to set up a LinkedIn is worth the time, and you can link to your blog for even greater effects.

Obtain a Professional Email Address

If you don’t already have a professional email address, now is the time to get yours. While sourapplebubblegum@unprofessionalemails.com might have been fine at a certain point of your life, but you need your email address to show a decent level of professionalism.

The standard route to take when choosing your professional email address is to use some variation of your name like johndoe@yahoo.com, jdoe@gmail.com or johnd@hotmail.com. But if you really want to look impressive, you could register a domain under your name then sign up for an email address through your own account (ex. john@johndoe.com). This way, you could post a quick resume on your site, point to your LinkedIn page and blog, and have the ultimate professional email address.

Sometimes it’s not easy to think of ways to get your foot in the door when you don’t have a great deal of experience in the field you’re pursuing. But taking free or low-cost steps to build your experience beforehand could make you more hire-able then you could ever imagine.

Objectives and accomplishments are other important parts of a resume because they anchor you in the present with the past experience and aim at the future thanks to your skills. Expert in the field who teach others how to write a resume indicate the fact that many people make mistakes when it comes to listing their job experience. Those with abrupt career shifts who have tried lots of different jobs need to organize their personal information in a special way so that it does not create a negative professional impression.
