The Internet-Ready Resume

Many people still think the resume you put online is not the same document that you created to print out and mail to prospective em­ployers or hand to interviewers. This is untrue. You do not need a dif­ferent resume, you only need to alter the format of your resume to make it easy for you to post, copy and past, or email it to employers.

When done correctly, your well-written, well-prepared resume will contain all of the necessary keywords to attract attention hether it is being scanned into a resume system, indexed and 'searched online, or read on paper by a real human.
