Tips For Creating An “Electronic” Resume
February 23rd, 2010
If you are job hunting, you will more than likely be requested to prepare a resume for distribution via e-mail. We’ve put together some tips for you below.
Do’s And Don’ts of Internet Resumes
- A career summary, not objective should be in the top half of the document.
- If you have been working for years and years, list only the past 10 years.
- Tie your skills to the bottom line. Quickly describe money you have saved the company, increases in sales, or whatever accomplishment sets you apart.
- KEEP IT SIMPLE! People make snap decisions; if they like what they see at first glance, they will respond.
- Never include your Social Security Number.
- Never list references on your resume.
- Be honest; even the smallest white lie can come back to haunt you.
- Send the resume in the body of an e-mail, not as an attachment. Some companies do not allow opening attachments.
- Include your personal e-mail address; NOT YOUR WORK E-MAIL.
- Save your resume in ASCII (text only) format for e-mailing.
