Latest Trend in Resume Scanning: We all hear that the latest trend in the HR field is resume scanning. However, only one of the companies have begun to utilize this technology, and only on a limited basis. In addition to scanning each resume, they also maintain a paper copy to supplement the scanning system which still is fraught with problems. To enhance the "scan-ability" of your resume, Gay Cross of Mercantile, recommends the following:

  • Do not use line or borders
  • Do not use bold print, italics, or underlining
  • Use Large and clear typestyle
  • Leave large margins all the way around the resume
  • Do not use any color paper other than white or very light ivory.
  • Be sure to center your name, address and phone at the top.
  • Donot enter un-warranted information.
  • Donot use high/big font size for textuals.

You would be amazed at the poor quality of many of the resumes if the above criteria were not followed precisely. More than half of the resumes, once scanned, were impossible to read. Should you send two copies of your resume? One for scanning and a more attractive one for the print file? no NO . The HR department is already overwhelmed with paperwork. we recommend only forwarding the copy that will be scanned. As a job seeker, you may want to call a company and see if they scan their resumes. If so, forward a copy that will easily scan. If not, forward a more attractive copy of your resume. We all know that "Image" is a major contributor to your job search success.
