Online ResumesHow to Make the CutMany websites will accept Word documents but some request that you cut and paste a text version of your resume (see examplebelow). Resumes submitted online frequently get imported into a database known as an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) orHiring Management System. This includes resumes posted to employer sites and Internet resume banks. Many of these resumesystems require a text version of your resume. The text version is designed to be read by a computer and eventually screened byhuman readers. Your resume will usually not be seen unless it has been retrieved from the database using keyword searching techniques.Format is minimal with no tabs, bold, bullets, etc. All lines are left justified.ANH NGUYENXXX Green StreetSan Francisco, CA 12345(415) 48X-XXXXanguyen@ucdavis.eduOBJECTIVEA career position in sales and marketingKeywordsThe more keywords your resume contains,the better chance of it being extracted fromthe ATS and given a higher ranking to becalled for an interview.
