Professional Resume Writing 101-15

Professional Resume Writing – Is Your Resume Ready for the Internet and Posted Online?

The electronic world offers a number of practical ways to pursue your job hunt. In fact, with the vast number of avenues available today it is difficult to offer any one piece of advice to ensure your resume is ready for the Internet. But one thing is certain, if your resume is simple, concise and clear of formatting issues you will have that much greater opportunity to have your resume received over the Internet with the same look and information you intended to send!

When emailing your resume ensure the name of the file is one that you want the recipient to see. If you have saved it as resume08.doc, rename it to include your name, Martin Buckland resume.doc. Or if you have changed some information to apply for a specific job you may want to save that version of your resume to also include the company name.

Some job sites offer the option to upload your resume file but there are many others that require the data be submitted using their format in which case you may be able to cut and paste from your resume. To ensure plain text formatting you may want to use Notepad or Wordpad to eliminate the risk of sending any clutter. Always read the instructions carefully and be sure to follow them. Don’t forget to note any job titles or reference numbers if provided and include them in your cover letter if the option is available.

In addition to online job boards there are many professional networking sites available which are a great resource for highlighting your professional achievements. If you are sure that your resume effectively markets you, use the content to create your profile. Never send your resume or publish your online profile information until you have thoroughly checked it for errors and received feedback from your colleagues or a professional. Ignoring your due diligence at this critical stage could damage your professional profile.

Recruiters are using all of the same Internet tools that you are so be sure your information is consistent, accurate and easy to find. The information you provide on your online VisualCV should be similar if not exactly the same as the data you used in your Linkedin profile and the resume you sent in response to an online job board. Don’t forget Xing and Zoominfo and to further increase your online visibility and enhance your personal brand, create your own blog.
