Resume and Cyber-Safe Internet Resume |
| Your
traditional printed resume must be supplemented now with a 21st
century version that is compatible with e-mail and with Internet
and database search technologies.
- Changing
the content of your resume - small
but very important changes
- Changing
the format of your resume -
a couple of short cuts for emergencies plus:
- Using
your ASCII text resume - now that you have an Internet Resume,
use it!
- E-mailing
a resume - usually the fastest way to respond and generally
preferred by recruiters and employers, but not as easy
to do well as you might think...
- Keeping
Your E-Mail Out of the Spam Filters
- a new complication to the resume e-mail process.
- Cutting-and-pasting
your resume into Web job site resume and profile forms makes
things move more quickly and, hopefully, minimizes the extra
spelling and gramatical errors that can happen when you are
typing text directly into a resume/profile form.

You do
still need your traditional printed resume when:
- You
have developed a relationship with a specific potential employer
or a trusted recruiter who has requested your complete
resume.
- You
respond to an employer's ad or an off-line opportunity through
the USPS (or "snail mail") system.
It is also a good
idea to include a plain, scannable version of your resume with your
printed resume when you are responding via regular mail. Then, if
you are the "right" candidate for the opportunity, you
resume may be scanned, particularly by companies with more than
500 employees that may have an internal applicant tracking system.
