ELECTRONIC RESUMES

There are millions of people and thousands of companies exchanging information over computer networks such as the Internet. Within this complex network many different word processing applications exist (such as Microsoft Word, WriteNow, ClarisWorks, etc.) which operate on various computer platforms (for example a Macintosh computer versus a PC). This can make it difficult to know how to send information because you may be unsure which specific program or platform the receiver uses to view documents. The following section will help you determine what format best suits the method you choose to exchange information during your job search campaign. Common electronic methods may be via:

 

  1. 1 - Electronic mail (e-mail)
  2. 2 - Electronic forms (e-forms)
  3. 3 - World Wide Web (web pages)
  4. 4 - Resume Databases
