In the age of the internet an online resume is a must. Of course if you have been working for a place for many years you never thought about updating your resume and certainly not putting it in an electronic format. With all the places to send resumes on the internet you have to have something that looks good and conveys a positive message about yourself.
There are different types of formats that you can choose from.The most basic form is the ASCII text which is similar to your text in an email. This is very popular and the most convenient. The drawback to an ASCII resume is that it is limited compared to the html resume. Basic text can look plain and less inviting then something html format.
Another format is the html format. This is the language that websites are written in. If you aren’t familiar with the language that’s okay. You can type your resume into WORD and save it out as html. But you need to see how the final resume looks in different browsers. Not all browsers are the same.
If you are totally confused by the different formats there are many websites that will take your information and format it for you for a price.And whatever type of resume that you choose make sure that you can print it out when you go on an interview.
