Resume Search &
"Scannable" Resume
From Paper Resumes
to Electronic Resumes
A few years ago scanning
resume seemed to be an emerging way to inventory
these documents at a external recruiter and large company
levels. These companies scanned paper resumes
into electronic resumes. It has changed with
Internet and today most of companies directly request to job
seekers to send their resumes on electronic
formats like pdf, word, txt or html.
Although it is a fact that scanning
never really stuck and companies could supersede the process
to convert paper resumes into electronic resumes with Internet
and electronic mail technologies’ advent, the resume
writing techniques for creating a good resume to get
results in the resume scanning and resume
search process are the same and keep still in force nowadays.
More than 95% of large
companies, and a growing number of small ones, use computers
to sort the hundreds of resumes they receive. When hiring
managers need to fill a position, they search those electronic
resumes for keywords (the same way you search
the web with Google or other search engines) that
describe the qualifications they want in a candidate.
Resume banks, such as Monster.com,
HotJobs,
Jobs
or Dice
also search resumes using keywords.
If you don't describe
your skills, education and experience using the keywords
used by hiring managers (called ' skill
headings') your resume won't be found and you
won't get interviews! |

Resumes
Before you post your resume to a company,
you will need to make sure your resume’s design is computer
search friendly, so that a computer can read it, and so that
it can be found easily by your intended audience.
Stylistic touches that are easy on a human’s
eyes may not be so easy on a computer scanner; nevertheless
a resume can be attractive and still be scannable and computer
search friendly.
