An electronic resume is the best format to use via the Internet and paste your resume into an online job bank (like the ones sponsored by employment or job search companies) or into the body of your e-mail.This format is also called Plain Text, Text File, or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).
Have you ever tried to cop
y and paste your resume as you complete online job forms only to find that it looks distorted? The electronic resume is your solution. More importantly, your electronic resume will survive a Keyword scan and make it to the "view" pile. You see, when you send a resume via the Internet, a computer scan is performed to sort qualified candidates from non-qualified candidates and if your resume is picked up during a Keyword search, an actual person reads it. It is much like the process used to surf the web: you type in a keyword, the search engine selects websites that are relevant for you to view. And so, if you don't have those Keywords (nouns and noun phrases),you are invisible in cyber space!
Keywords are industry buzzwords, jargon, skills, and phrases that are relevant to that specific industry. How do you prepare an electronic resume? View these online instructions
