Created on a computer and either e-mailed to prospective employers, or submitted via an interactive form on a company web site.

Points to Remember:

  • You often must have an e-résumé to apply for jobs online.
  • Most major companies accept them via e-mail.
  • If completing a company form online, take your time and carefully enter information, completing ALL required fields.  Proofread before submitting.
  • Write in simple plain text (ASCII) unless employer requests otherwise.
  • Many companies scan e-résumé with tracking or keyword software.  Keywords are terms describing your education, skills, and experience. Create a dedicated keyword section, or use keywords throughout your e-résumé.
  • Once your résumé has been formatted digitally and saved, it can be tailored to fit any future employment opportunities.
