\u00a0 2 Versions of Each Sample Resume \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Because of the impact of technology used by recruiters and employers, we have provided 2 versions of each sample resume:<\/p>\n

1. The formal version of the resume –<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the traditional version of the resume designed to appeal to live humans. This is the resume sent directly to recruiters and members of an employer’s staff.<\/p>\n

Leverage your word processing software’s functions to make it appealing and easy to read.<\/p>\n

2. The simpler ATS-friendly version of the resume – <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you look at this resume, you won’t be particularly impressed by what you see because this is the simplified version of your resume that you would submit to most job boards and to employer applicant tracking systems (ATS).<\/p>\n

Automated systems require a very plain format which can be processed by the software, generating the fewest errors in understanding the content of the resume. These ATS samples were prepared with assistance from JobScan.co<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sample Resumes<\/h2>\n

The challenges faced by these job seekers is explained in the article that accompanies the resume and should explain the particular challenges each job seeker faced. The job seekers range from executive to college student and everyone in between.<\/p>\n

Each sample resume illustrates how to resolve several issues that the job seeker had.<\/p>\n

Do read the explanation of the situation the resume is addressing before you look at the resume samples. That will enable you to see what “problem” the job seeker had that the resume addresses.<\/p>\n
