Word Documents and Internet Searches
Hi All
I've created my resume in MS Word 2007. I'm happy with it and ready to publish it online to recruitment websites. I was wondering what are the best methods to ensure that when employers or agents using these websites do a search (against criteria that match my skills/experience), my resume will be on the results lists. Presumably it depends on the website and the search technology being used but are there any good rules to apply or pitfalls to avoid in terms of structuring, formating and preparing the document for such websites. Out of interest, do the search functions for these recruitment websites have the capability to read the content inside the document? I guess there's no point having a resume that no one can find! Thanks in advance to all those who reply, and if you want to contact me direct my email is . Regards, Hardip |

[..] according to my experience with these web sites, they don't search in DOC/DOCX/PDF (the latter would be my choice of format to upload the CV, anyway) at all, but rely on the metadata they make you enter when they allow you to upload the file.

According to a recent post in a German PDF newsgroup, the toolchain Word + pdfMaker + Acrobat seems to be a reasonable approach to create tagged PDFs. But I would not invest time to do this unless you are absolutely sure that the metadata thus created is in fact evaluated at all wherever you upload the file. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
