Resumes: Submitting your resume onlineResume submissionsHere are some helpful tips to remember when you submit your resume online: Check your resume thoroughly Before you submit your resume make sure you go over it with a fine tooth comb and check for any spelling mistakes and typing errors, if there are mistakes in it, it will show that you don't pay attention to detail. Your resume is your chance to impress a potential employer and first impressions count for a lot. Never use shorthand and acronyms Avoid any kind of "cute" stuff in your resume such as emoticons, shorthand or acronyms, also never type your resume in all capital letters. The only time when capital letters could be used is in headings on your resume. Get help writing your resume If you are unsure about how to write a resume then get help, there are some resume writing services out there that will go over you resume for a small fee and those that will write your entire resume for you including cover letters, of course these are expensive but if you are really stuck then it may be worth the money. Resume writing software If you can't afford to pay to have your resume written for you then you could purchase resume writing software, which is a lot cheaper but makes writing your resume a lot easier. Some resume writing software packages are a complete job searching tool that can help you to search several job banks at once, distribute your resume online and keep track of where you posted it, write cover letters and thank you notes, keep a track of contacts and interviews and give you practice for interviews using virtual reality. Remember where you submit your resume Keep a written record of where you submit your resume you don't want to be submitting to the same place more than once, this will make you look unorganised. By keeping track you can also go back and modify your resume or withdraw it if needed, you will also be able to re visit the sites and find out where you are the getting the most responses from your resume. Always include a cover letter if possible If possible when you submit your resume always include a cover letter with it, submitting a cover letter will make you look professional and it should be standard practice. Also follow up any interviews that you have by writing a thank you note a few days after the interview. Update your resume on a regular basis Recruiters and employers have been known to overlook older resumes and jump on newer ones that have been submitted, if your resume is being overlooked then go back into the site and update it. Most sites have an edit option and this usually flags the resume as being updated or new, even if you don't have any new information to add just change the wording a little it will still be flagged as updated and might draw the attention of employers looking for newer resumes.
