Electronic Resume/Scannable Resume (text-only resume)
 Step-by-Step Instructions to Create a Text Resume
If you e-mail your resume or cut and paste it into a web-based
form, you need an e-mail resume. To create one, follow these steps:
1. Remove all special formatting from your document. This includes
bullets, special characters, bolding, italics.
2. Align all text to the left margin. Make sure your headings
(objective, education, experience, etc.) are ALL CAPS, to set apart
the different sections of your resume.
3. Select FILE-SAVE AS and change the "file type" to "text only".
Rename the resume to something like. "resume text version"
If an employer requires you to email your resume, the following is
recommended:
1. In the body of your e-mail, type (or cut-paste) your cover
letter.
2. Indicate that you have included your resume below. Cut-paste your
text version resume below the cover letter.
3. Attach (e-mail attachment) your resume as both a text version and
Microsoft Word/version.
