| For all you people who apply to companies for employment. Read this. There
are two different types of Resumes? That's correct TWO different types. When you apply to these large companies/corporations, and on their website they say please copy or paste your resume, well what they're looking for is a "Scannable Resume" This means that when you send the resume via computer, on the receiving end, a computer scans the resume and looks for keywords, titles, achievements, headings, formating... list goes on. And only those that the computer recognizes, thats when you know your resume is a success. Because think about it when everybody wants to work a particular company, no one can read all the thousands of resumes, instead the computer does the work.
And believe me, this is not a joke, you can actually find guidelines on how to create a successful resume, and once you do, you got the job. Oh yeah, and keep 2 resumes, 1 ordinary one, and the other a scannable one only for major companies.
So good luck
