Create a Web-Ready Resume If you're going to post your resume on job sites, you'll want to have a resume that's both useful and user-friendly. "Webified Resumes" can appear in different formats, but the following examples are among the easiest to create: The ASCII Plain Text Resume What type of document is best for posting a resume on a job board? We recommend using ASCII plain text for cutting and pasting a resume into your profile. *Before saving a document in ASCII Plain Text format: Remove any formatting in your original word-processing document. Do not use bold, italic, graphics or bullet points. Distinguish categories such as "education" and "experience" with capital letters and double spacing. We recommend that you use a bullet-point format for readability, but use asterisks or dashes instead of bullets. Set your margins at seven inches or less. A maximum of 80 characters per line is recommended to avoid long lines of text across the width of the page. Use separate lines for name, address and email address. This information may blend together and be difficult for the reader to comprehend. Use a separate line for job title, company name, location and employment history.
