Tips to Post Your Resume

by bloggersujatha

While posting your resume on a job board or mailing it to a potential employer, please do have enough patience to look into the points mentioned below: A formatted, "print" resume in document, sent as an attachment to an e-mail message to the employer.
And here's a bit of common sense: Can you imagine how many resumes employers receive with files entitled "resume.doc". So make sure to u se your name as part of the file name for your resume. Example: Sairam_Resume.
While sending resume in an e-mail, add a small text-based cover letter pasted directly into the same e-mail message into which your print resume is attached. "I have attached an word resume, do find attached.
Some enable you to paste your resume into a form in any format, but the board automatically converts it to text. Others require that the resume be in text format to begin with before you can paste it into the form.
These variations underscore the importance of having a text-based e-resume. While researching this article, we learned that a text-based e-resume is not only vital for boards with a text-resume requirement -- but also extremely helpful when the boards convert any resume to text.
Also note that some job boards/employers limit the number of words or the size of the file that you can paste into any one field. Others, such as Monster.com, have a very rigid format for constructing your resume/profile
