When you upload your resume in a neat pretty word doc and
the image that appears on the screen distorts all of your wonderful formatting that you worked so hard on do you try to reformat it so that it will look great? Or do you leave it as is?
I never know what to do in these situations. I have spent a couple of hours before trying to change my resume for their awkward formatting, but I am not sure if it is expected. One company that had awkward formatting wrote on the site not to worry about the fact that the formatting changed.
Re: When you upload your resume in a neat pretty word doc and
Reformat it if they show you what it looks like before sending. I worked for a company that did not show people first...all the paragraph spaces were gone and it all ran together; it was such a headache to read, literally. Sometimes companies run them through a word seeker before they go to a recruiter so the piles are much shorter?but even out of a pile of 5, I would spend more effort reading the nicely formatted one.
When a friend applied for a job at the company, I gave her the email of the recruiter (which would have been possible for any normal applicant to find as well if they did some leg work) had her apply traditionally and then had her send an email to the recruiter saying she had completed an application, but that she wanted to make personal contact and here are the materials that were included in the application. The recruiter responded to her a week later, thanked her for the email and said she appreciated the cover letter and resume because sometimes good candidates get missed in the application process (ie, I can?t stand to read 20 of those poorly formatted thing top to bottom). She got the job and in all honesty was probably just a mediocre candidate on paper.
I ALWAYS convert my resume into a PDF before sending it electronically.
This if possible!
I do this when they allow it. A couple of the companies I am really interested in will not allow PDFs. I do not understand why they will not allow PDF docs. It is so much better for the applicant and the recruiter.
