Online Resumes

20 Apr 2003
Posted by joshb

Online resumes leave something to be desired. I've always prided myself on being able to present one of the very best resumes that is offered for any position. However, with online resumes I can't control how it will print, what it will be printed on and even if the printer will have ink in it, or will be streaked. Then there are the resume submission pages... one rarely knows what the last step will be, nor how it will look as too many of these pages lack preview. I'm surprised there aren't more sites that take PDF resumes but then I guess not everyone is lucky enough to run OS X.
