Dealing With Resume Forms

When you apply jobs on internet, you frequently have to fill out some resume forms (especially on those company websites). The advantage for the employers of using these forms is that they can easily sort, filter and group candidate resumes and select those that are most qualified. As a job seeker, you might want to use the following tips to achieve maximum effectiveness:

  • Use keywords and buzz words in your resume body. When recruiters search resumes from resume databases, they usually match certain keywords appropriate to a particular position. If you are not sure which words are most relevant and have better chance to be searched, just take a look at the job description of your target positions and you'll have some idea.
  • Don't just copy and past your word or PDF format resume to the form, otherwise, your resume may look weird in the form. Instead, you can copy and paste your resume to Notepad and convert your resume to ASCII text, do some formatting to make your resume looks pleasing to your eye, and then copy and paste this text format resume to the form.
