RESUMES FOR A DIGITAL AGE

When youre applying for a job, you work hard to make sure your resume will command the
attention of the first person who reads it. But its increasingly likely that the first reader of your
resume wont be a person at all.

Inundated with hundredsor thousandsof resumes for some positions, many companies are
using technology to streamline resume screening.
Any time you submit a resume, you should expect to have your resume scanned for keywords,
says Chandlee Bryan, career coach and owner of Best Fit Forward.
Companies use applicant-tracking systems to electronically sort through and store resumes. The
systems search for keywords, sort the resumes, and give hiring mangers the most-promising
candidates.
Although designing a resume that will impress both a computer and human readers may seem
intimidating, there are some advantages.
It used to be that when a recruiter said, Well keep your resume on file, it meant it was going in
the garbage can, says Barbara Safani, owner of Career Solvers and the author of Happy About
My Resume. Now, they may actually mean it.
Experts offer these tips for making sure your resume stands out electronically and in person:

Choose the right keywords. Hiring managers and recruiters will use the applicanttracking system to search for keywords related to the job theyre looking to fill. To make
your resume rise to the top of the list, you need the right keywords.
Review the job posting for the position and try to mirror that language, Safani
says. Find words and phrases that describe what the company is looking for and use them
as much as possible.

Use variations of keywords. Some systems check how often a particular word or
variation on a word is used. For instance, if youre looking for a job in accounting, use both

accountant and accounting.

Use keywords smartly. Some resumes have a keyword section that simply lists
keywords for the computer to pick up. Others include a keyword list in white text on white
paper, so that it is read by the computer but not seen by a human reader. Safani and
Bryan dont recommend these techniques, though, because although they might help your
resume get picked out initially, they can hurt you when a human reader takes a look.
You dont want to write something that doesnt read well just because youre trying
to get the word accountant in 10 different ways, Safani says.

Make your job title generic. If most companies would call you a business analyst but
your title is process improvement specialist, consider listing business analyst on your
resume (and perhaps putting your actual title in parentheses after it). Do not, of course,
give yourself a loftier title than you actually have.
Dont go overboard. It can be useful to have a list of key skills on your resume, both for
search engines to scan and to give human readers an idea of your strengths. But Bryan
recommends listing no more than nine: I dont think it fools anyone if its not very deep.
Use text only. If youre asked to paste your resume into a website text box, make sure
you use a text-only version. If you copy and paste from a Word document, for example,

some characters and formatting may not translate properly (em dashes, bullets,
indentations, italic or bold type, and even quotation marks, for instance)making your
resume illegible (for machines and people). You may want to save a copy of your resume
as a plain-text file and make any adjustments in that file before you paste the text (plain

text is offered as an option when you save a file in almost all word processing programs).
Follow directions. Every system is different, so the most important thing is to follow the
directions on the site thats accepting your resume, Bryan says.

RESUME 2.0
Resumes on paper are very 20th century, so why not upgrade your resume to fit in better with the
digital age? A video resume is where its really at since it shows off your tech savvy skills, your
adaptability and can help you stand out from the paper resume drones.
Visibility is one of the most important aspects of the video resume since your skills, capabilities
and personality are immediately visible, according to Undercover Recruiter. This is, in a way, like
an initial interview with an employer. Its a great way to get in the front of the line and really
show why you are the right candidate.
