An Internet job search is fast, easier, and inexpensive. You can make your qualifications available to a wider selection of employers online by posting your resume at top sites, job banks, visit company Web sites to check what jobs are available for you, read job listings and apply for jobs. Convert your resume for an online job search! You will use e-mail during your online job search, and you will need to make some changes in your paper resume to use it online. You may need a text (ASCII) version, a scannable version, or a Web (HTML) resume.
Most of the time you can send via e-mail the paper version of your resume as a file attachment. Use the text version of your resume when the job posting specifies “no attachments”, and when you are filling in online applications or posting your resume to online resume banks. Use the scannable version of your resume when the job announcement specifies “scannable” or informs that they will be scanning your document. Create a Web resume that you can store online or on a CD-ROM.
