Creating Your Plain Text Resum

There are two ways you can enter your resume into a text editor.

From scratch: Once you've found a text editor, start it up and begin typing in your resume. Keep the anization clean and simple as you will not be able to use bold, italics or fonts in different sizes.

Copy and paste: If you cut and paste a formatted resume into a text editor, you'll notice that a lot of the formatting will be lost. Your font will be uniform and any text with bold or italics will be replaced with plain text.If you are using a text editor, your document should automatically be sed as text. Double check this by making sure your document has a .txt file extension.

Also, text editors do not typically he spell check. So, copy and paste your text resume into Microsoft Word or another word processing program with spell check. Spell check the document. Be sure to make any necessary changes to the text document and se it again.

Creating a Plain-Text E-Mail

If a job deion asks you to include a plain-text resume in the body of an e-mail, make sure your e-mail software is set to send plain text. Otherwise, your e-mail browser will add formatting to your resume and the recruiter may assume you didn't follow instructions.

The method for sending a plain-text e-mail depends on the e-mail program you're using. I've included directions for some major e-mail programs below. If your e-mail program isn't listed, look in the help section of your e-mail or consider calling your Inter Service Provider.

Yahoo! Mail: Create a new e-mail. At the bottom of the e- mail, click the plain text button. Then, simpl

y copy and paste your resume into the e-mail. You may he to make some minor formatting changes.

Hotmail: Create a new e-mail, in the pull-down field labeled Tools make sure the Rich Text Editor is off.

Microsoft Outlook: Create a new e-mail, click on the Format button and choose the Plain Text option. Then, simply copy and paste your resume into the new e-mail. You may he to make some minor changes, but most of your formatting should remain intact.Helpful Formatting Tips

Use all caps to make headers stand out from body text. Since plain text does not allow for bold and italics, it can be difficult to distinguish between resume sections. I use all capital letters for OBJECTIVE, WORK EXPERIENCE and EDUCATION to give them prominence.

You can use bullets in a plain-text document, but it's not as easy as clicking a button. If you want to use a bullet point in your plain-text resume, copy and paste this bullet () without the parentheses into your resume. Otherwise, you can use an asterisk (*) or dashes (--).

Avoid using the Tab key, because plain text when sed may not retain the tab mand. Instead, use the space bar.

Always e-mail a copy of your plain-text resume to yourself before sending it to a recruiter. This gives you a chance to see the resume as the recruiter will see it.相关主题阅读:
