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. Richard Flink, MS Director Advance assessoria
