The Internet Job Search ACCESS Job Fair 3/7/2007 Andrew Ang, Business Specialist Review: Scanable Resumes One scanning method involves scanning and maintaining the resume as a graphic image, so that your resume is maintained exactly as you created it. In this case the resume you have created for the human eye is acceptable. Review: Scannable Resumes Another scanning method involves converting the image into text. Even though your resume is a text document, certain kinds of text are not always accurately scanned. A "scannable resume" is one that can be successfully converted. Review: Scannable Resumes _ Check web instructions _ Select a common font (Times, Arial) _ No underlines, italics, or shading _ Font size 12 (10-14 usually ok) _ Avoid columns and lines _ Avoid hollow bullets _ Don't fold or staple your resume _ Use white or off-white paper _ Left justification, single sided page Internet Job Search _ Websites for students _ Jobs in Washington State _ National Search Engines _ Networking with Organizations _ Helpful Articles Websites for Students _ Workforce Recruitment Program http://www.wrpjobs.com/pages/1/index.htm * Financial Aid & Other resources http://www.Nela.net _ ENTRYPOINT paid internships http://ehrweb.aaas.org/entrypoint/ _ National Business Disability Council http://www.nbdc.com/ _ Emerging Leaders paid internships http://emerging-leaders.com/ _ Career Opp's for Students w/Disabilities http://www.cosdonline.org/ Websites for Students _ Youth to Work Coalition http://www.ncset.org/youthtowork/default.html _ Corporate Websites for Students http://www.microsoft.com/college/ip_overview.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/citizenship/diversity/programs/interns.asp _ WA State College Recruitment Program http://hr.dop.wa.gov/statejobs/crp.overview.htm _ WA Conservation Corps http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/sea/wcc/index.html Jobs in Washington State _ State Department of Personnel http://www.wa.gov/esd/employment.html _ School District Jobs http://www.k12.wa.us/employment/k12opportunities.aspx _ Employment at Colleges http://hr.dop.wa.gov/statejobs/herlinks.htm _ WA Service Corps http://www.wa.gov/esd/wsc/ _ WA Military Jobs http://www.mil.wa.gov/ National Search Engines _ Monster.com http://www.monster.com/ _ Careerbuilder http://www.careerbuilder.com _ NationJob.com http://www.nationjob.com/ _ Craigslist http://www.craigslist.org _ ODEP's EARN http://www.earnworks.com (Beware of search engines that charge a fee!)
