A scannable resume is a resume that a person scans into a computer as an image. Because computers read scannable resumes differently than people do, you have to follow certain rules to be fairly sure that your scannable resume will be read as you intended. A scannable resume may start life as a paper resume that you can postal mail, hand deliver, or fax on a fax machine; the employer uses a scanning machine to enter a hard copy resume into a candidate database. More often these days, you create a scannable resume on your computer and e-mail it to an employer, who electronically enters it directly into a database. After an employer has your scannable resume, computer software extracts from it a summary of basic information, pulling out factors like your name, contact information, skills, work history, years of experience, and education.

Take these steps to prevent scanning errors from putting you on the sidelines: Use type that’s clear and readable. Don’t use a condensed typeface. Unnamed collection.
