List the six guidelines that should be followed when creating an electronic version of a résumé.

Answer:

1. Save the résumé as a text-only/plain-text document. 2. Remove graphics, tables, columns, and other complex formatting. 3. Use standard characters and avoid unusual symbols. 4. Left-align the text and avoid tabs or indents that may shift. 5. Make section headings easy to identify, such as by using capital letters. 6. Use simple bullets and keep lines short so the résumé remains readable when transferred between systems.
