Increasingly, employers, especially large companies,
are keeping databases of resumes electronically, so you need a text/scannable
version of your resume
If you know or suspect company may be scanning resumes,
send two versions, using a Post-It note to indicate the scannable version
Use keywords (nouns and phrases), as opposed to the verbs you would
use on a print resume
A scannable resume is basically stripped of all formatting
Use a basic sans-serif font (such as Helvetica/Arial)
No italics, script, underlining, bullets
No graphics, shading, multiple columns, vertical lines
Use a high-quality printer
Plain white paper
Heading information (use all caps to distinguish) on separate lines
