How to make a resume to scanner - 8 tips!
With the computer science development, companies has
used some types of software for management and resumes
data base.
One of the used ways to place a resume in data base,
received in the traditional printed, sheet of paper, or
either, is through "scanner". The retyping of the
resume is practically extinct for obvious reasons.
Its resume will be able to arrive in the way company
printed matter, through 2 main ways: 1) the company placed
an announcement where its physical address only consists a
post office box; 2) a friend takes it for the company,
as an indication, for example.
The amount of these equipment named scanners is enormous,
as well as software that they follow its. This show
that a company will be able to have the hardware/software
that gives a better or worst resolution that
another. How it would be practically impossible to know the
equipment installed in the companies, the best is to
make it a resume following some general rules:
1)The paper choosing: in this item, the best one to make
is to choose a total white paper. Papers with strong colors
or of recycled material must be prevented.
2) It doesn't send copy: normally when copy of the resume
is taken off, it appear "black points" in the copy and
this will confuse the scanner process.
3) It prevents to fold: the fold of the paper could not be
understood by scanner and will appear risks in the copy.
4) Sources: it prefers to use "sources" with size between
10 and 14 points and of the "arial" or "times new roman"
types. Sources where the letters seem drawn will cause
errors in the reading of
scanner.
5) It prevents to create tables: the columns also cause
problems in the reading.
6) Never it uses symbols: quotations marks, percentage,
special characters, etc. It will not be understood.
7) It prevents the use of markers: in case that you opt
to using its, you must to prefers "solids" or either,
totally full.
8) For the bar splitting "/", it always uses space, so
that it will be understood.
