How To Submit Your Resume To Hiring Managers
FREE Resume Reviews
HR and hiring managers like a chronological resume that is easy to read, accomplished focused with measurable results. I am seeing more HR and hiring managers lean more towards resume that have a target and/or is written to obtain a specific position.
Which is the best way to submitt a resume to HR or a hiring manager?
Hiring managers will state in the job description how they want you to submit your resume. Some will request a fax or submitting an online application. There are also some who will let you email them with an attached resume. There are three kinds of documents that job seekers need to know to ensure their resume is submitted to return the best results.
Three Resume Documents
1. Word doc
2. ASCII
3. PDF
Each document has their unique purpose.
Word doc can be changed. This version is gives you the ability to update or change anything on your resume.
ASCII is left-justified, plain text. ASCII files adopt the users default settings for typestyle and margins, and are void of formatting enhancements such as bold, italics, indents, or tabs.
ASCII resumes are unattractive to the human eye, but they offer the benefit of universal compatibility: They can be read by any word processor, e-mail program, or operating system (PC or Macintosh).
This format can be used anytime a text resume is required, but should always be used when the resume is being cut and pasted into an e-form, or when creating an HTML (Web) resume.
PDF document cannot be changed. It is best to use the PDF when sending your resume as an attachment, or when printing hard copies.
