Scannable / ASCII Resume

Many large, medium, and some small companies today have implemented Electronic Applicant Tracking Systems for scanning resumes as they arrive in the HR department to effectively manage a large candidate pool. Instead of a human reading your resume and deciding how to forward it along or file it, screening is done by a key word search to extract important information from the database. The paper is either filed or thrown away. Also with the ever expanding electronic information revolution, the vast majority of companies are utilizing the Internet to post available positions and find qualified candidates. To respond to these positions via email or to post your resume online to a company web site, you will need an ASCII or text only resume. 

As an essential tool for job hunting and to ensure the success of your job search a scannable/ASCII resume should be included with a letter quality traditional resume for a nice visual presentation. With our ASCII/scannable resume service you can now have a specially formatted resume for easy Internet job hunting and accurate digital storage. Special keywords are included to get you more hits and maximum exposure as searches are conducted.

This package includes two high quality laser prints on white paper and an emailed text version of your resume (.rtf or .txt). The fee to convert your resume from standard word processing format is $75.00. If ABD did not compose your original resume, you must supply an electronic /  data version.
