Electronic Resumes

HTML:

An HTML (.htm or .html) resume is a Web page. This type of electronic resume resembles your printed resume with all the bold print, italics, tabs, and underlining. An HTML resume can be used for:

• Submission to job posting sites.

• Your own Web page.

• E-mailing to employers. Just include a link in your e-mail message to your resume page. 

ASCII:

An ASCII (.txt) resume is a text version of your resume. This type of electronic resume bears no resemblance to the paper version of your resume since it is stripped of all boldface, italics, tabs, and underlining. An ASCII resume can be used for:

• Submission to job posting sites.

• E-mailing to prospective employers if you don't know what word processing software they're using (ASCII text can be read by all word processors).
