E-Mail and Online Submissions

Save your resume in three electronic versions:

1. Microsoft Word or other word-processing software document: Use this to

print out a hard copy of your resume.

2. ASCII format with line breaks: Use this to cut and paste your document

into the body of an e-mail message.

3. ASCII format without line breaks: Use this to upload your resume to an

online database and to cut and paste into preset fields.

Using ASCII versions will help you avoid formatting conflicts that can make

your document difficult to read. Unfortunately, in the ASCII versions you will

also lose the formatting you took great care to develop. To minimize the damage:

1. Change bullets to asterisks (*).

2. Offset category headings with a row of tildes (~).

3. Change your margin settings to 2 inches; 60 characters (including spaces) is

the maximum line length. Setting a wider margin allows you to control

where the line breaks occur.

4. Select a fixed-width typeface like Courier and font size of 12 point.

5. Add white space for readability.

6. Do a test run. E-mail your resume to yourself or a friend to see how it

looks.
