If you're going to post your resume on the internet, you'll want to have a resume that's both useful and user-friendly. "Webified Resumes" can appear in different formats, but the following examples are among the easiest to create:The Keyword Resume
Keywords are words or phrases (e.g., skills, experience, industries, jargon) that are utilized during Web-based searches. Keywords can be used to lure recruiters and companies to your resume—although this doesn't mean you should include every imaginable keyword in your resume. Instead, develop your resume in a traditional format, and then extract choice keywords by which a recruiter may search. Not only should those words demonstrate your skills and experience; they should also reflect the type of job you're trying to find.The ASCII Plain Text Resume
What type of document is best for posting a resume on a job board? We recommend using ASCII plain text for cutting and pasting a resume into websites and job boards. Before saving a document in ASCII Plain Text format:
- Remove any formatting in your original word-processing document.
- Do not use bold, italic, graphics or bullet points.
- Distinguish categories such as "education" and "experience" with capital letters and double spacing.
- We recommend that you use a bullet-point format for readability, but use asterisks or dashes instead of bullets.
- Set your margins at seven inches or less. A maximum of 80 characters per line is recommended to avoid long lines of text across the width of the page.
- Use separate lines for name, address and email address. This information may blend together and be difficult for the reader to comprehend.
- Use a separate line for job title, company name, location and employment history.
