Introduction<\/h3>\n

A scannable r\u00e9sum\u00e9 generally refers to a resume that is scanned into a computer using an optical character recognition (OCR) application. OCR, or optical character recognition, applications turn scanned or digital images into searchable text.<\/p>\n

After a resume is scanned using OCR, it is turned into a searchable text file that employers can use to find ideal applicants by searching for keywords contained within the file\/s.<\/p>\n

OCR programs are built into various job search platforms, and are also available as standalone applications such as Newton, Talent Square, Text Kernal, and Job Scan.<\/p>\n

The key to creating a good scannable resume is to do everything in your power to create a resume that is scanned cleanly and a resume that will return the maximum number of “hits” by anticipating what employers will search for and how they will search. For that reason, good scannable resumes don’t look like traditional paper resumes, and they don’t use the same language, either.<\/p>\n

For our purposes, we will discuss three important areas of revision required to turn a traditional resume into a scannable resume: formatting, keywords, and language shifts.<\/p>\n

(These rules work for other formats of electronic resumes, too\u2014inline and plain text resumes. Inline resumes are those copied and pasted into the body of an email, and plain text resumes are those copied and pasted into text input boxes in online application systems. Both inline and plain text resumes should be formatted for “electronic” reading and optimized for searchability to maximize “hits.”)<\/p>\n
