Run an Effective Online Job Search
In today’s job market you have to be able to connect with employers via the Internet. The Internet clearly has altered the way you find a job and manage your career. And the great thing about an Internet search and posting your resume is that it can be done instantly. The employer can post the position as soon as it becomes available and you instantly can post your resume. No more 2-3 day “snail mail” wait.
The e-resume
You first want to be able to develop and transmit effectively an electronic or Internet resume. Let’s begin be looking at the distinctions between the 2:
An electronic resume organizes and presents your qualifications in the order the computer wants them to appear. The information is stored in a database and typically will be searched by keywords. Therefore, you want to be sure you know the popular keywords and how to use them.
An Internet resume is typically sent as either an e-mail message (embedded) or as an attachment. (I have been told by numerous hiring managers that more and more prefer the resume embedded vs. attached due to “virus” possibilities when sending.) It is important to keep in mind that an Internet resume most likely will not transmit in the same format in which you send it.
Don’t just convert your “paper” resume and send it as an Internet one. It won’t convert bold lettering, italics, bullets, etc. The resume usually will print out in the font the recipient uses, not the font on your computer.
Regardless of which resume you use, I suggest simple fonts, such as Helvetica, Courier Sans Serif or Times, and size 10 or 12 point. And forget all the glitzy graphic techniques that your paper resume might have. Scanners and databases won’t be able to pick these up and most likely will not properly present your resume information.
I also suggest, when possible, follow up with a paper version of your resume via snail mail for 2 reasons:
