Once you have finalized your resume content
and format, send it by email to at least three
friends. This will let you know that the
document can be easily opened and arrives
appropriately formatted.
Scannable Resume/CV
When writing a scannable resume/CV use
white paper, and 12-point scanner friendly
fonts (Arial, Times, or Courier), use words
that describe your experience in a concise and
accurate manner, use more than one page if
necessary. Don’t use colored or dark paper,
italics, underlining, shadows or reverse type,
bullets, lines, boarders, boxes or graphics.
Putting Your Resume/CV On-line
Once you are satisfied with your resume/CV
you should publish it in one of the HSPH
CSO’s electronic resume/CV books on
CareerConnect.
These books can be found by
linking to CareerConnect through the CSO
Website. Employers are very interested in
viewing resumes/CVs on line when hiring.
This will also give a larger number of
employers the opportunity to view your
resume/CV easily and often.
Additional information, including a CV and
resume samples are available online and in
the HSPH Career Services Office
