Features of our resumes:

We highlight your qualifications and accomplishments and put them in a format that invites the hiring authority to read the entire document. This improves your chances of being called for an interview. We include a summary with industry-specific and skills keywords that increase the likelihood that your resume will produce matches after being scanned into an employer’s database.

Samples of our resumes appear in the following publications:

Take advantage of a vital marketing tool that generates instant visibility to thousands of employers — the Internet. We recommend conversion of the MS Word document to ASCII for emailing and electronic distribution.

Conversion to ASCII "pure text" format

Résumés Plus can reformat your completed resume in a professional, attractive online style. Yes, electronic distribution requires that a document be in a particular format — ASCII — a simple layout without tabs, bolding, underlining or other attributes.

If you "paste" an MS Word or Corel WordPerfect document into an online form, formatting will be lost and some characters will probably get carried over that don't translate well (e.g., bullets, tabs, tables).

We recommend that, unless specifically instructed otherwise, you use an ASCII document whenever you use the Internet in your career search. Examples of use of an ASCII document would be:

• email
• company web pages
• job boards
• resume distribution services
• web resume generators
• job posting services
• online job applications
