During job and internship search Resume plays an important role. Resume get you that much wanted Job Interview. then rest is up to you to get the job. That’s why Resume plays a major role in the job search process.

Friend of mine submitted Resume in pdf format during online job search. If it happens to be that, if resume to be scanned by keywords scanner, then pdf format will not be recognized by the software and the resume will never get into the hands of the hiring manager. There are different types of resume, student has to have to be used based on situation.

Resume Types:

1. A Print Version, designed with bulleted lists, italicized text, and other highlights, ready to print and mail or hand to potential contacts and interviewers.
2. A Scannable Version, a less-designed version without the fancy design highlights. Bulleted lists are fine, but that’s about the limit.
3. A Plain Text Version, a plain text file ready to copy and paste into online forms or post in online resume databases. This might also be referred to as a Text-Only copy.
4. An E-mail Version, another plain text copy, but this one is specifically formatted for the length-of-line restrictions in e-mail. This is also a Text-Only copy.

You can more details about the types of resume from the Authors page and they have differentiated Email Resume to be same as Plain Text Resume. but, I would say, Email Resume can be same as Print Resume. continued types of resume.
