Got your ASCII resume? If so Nike M2K Tekno Phantom Women's Grey Silver , you're almost ready to post that resume to the Web and transmit that resume vial email to whomever. But wait... you'll need to fix the problems that accompany almost all plain text resume conversions. Here's what to do, in a 5-point checklist. _____
So you've written your resume and converted a copy to ASCII, the simple text format that allows any document to be read by practically any computer in the world. That's good. Now you're ready to post your resume onto online forms with corporations and job banks, and send that resume electronically via email in response to ads. Right? Well, just about.
The conversion to plain text is part one of two parts. Yes, your resume in its current ASCII form will be easily read by computer software scanning for keywords. But what happens when your resume succeeds in getting through the initial scan and ends up on the PC monitor of an actual human being? At that point Nike Vandal 2K Women's Black Gold , you don't want your ASCII resume to be overly hard to read. After all, it's a human who will call you in for the interview. In the interest of human eyes, here is a checklist of 5 points to go over before your first ASCII resume steps out onto the Web.
5 Things To Check to a Readable ASCII Resume
1- Adjust The Header. Unless your header (i.e., name and contact information) was centered and devoid of design instructions from the beginning, it was likely jumbled in the conversion to ASCII. Fix it by first placing everything on the left margin. Then allocate a single line for each bit of information: Name, Address Nike Vandal 2K Women's Metallic Silver Red , Phone Number, Email Address, and Web Address URL (if applicable).
2 - Correct The Spacing. Often times, an ASCI conversion results in a massive block of text where once there were paragraphs and sectional spacing. The fix is your "enter" key on your keyboard. Use it to insert a line space between paragraphs, and a double line space between category sections of your resume.
3 - Fix Bullet Points. In a perfect world, bullet points from your MS Word or WordPerfect resume should be transformed into asterisks during an ASCII conversion. We don't live in a perfect world. Check those bullet points. If they've disappeared Nike Odyssey React Women's Gray Black , or were turned into question marks, fix them by making them asterisks.
4 - Look For Other Anomalies. Beyond bullet points, look for other type characters that may have grown warts in the process. Candidates for conversion warts include the em dash (similar to an extended hyphen), diacritical marks (i.e., the accent mark above a letter), and other characters created by software and not found on the keyboard. To correct these anomalies Nike Odyssey React Habanero Women's Red White , find the closest approximation that resides on your keyboard (if it appears on your keyboard, it's ASCII supported).
5 - Tinker With Category Headings To Improve Readability. Seriously consider transforming your category headings (i.e. Summary, Education, Experience, etc.) in ALL CAPS to help distinguish the various sections of the resume. In addition, consider adding a series of marks either directly above or below the category headings Nike Odyssey React Women's Casual Arctic Pink White , crafting either a full line or partial line. Try a series of equal signs ====== or tildessquigglies ~~~~~~ for the sake of appearance. Don't go overboard. And remember to limit any character additions to those found on the keyboard.
Now Your ASCII Resume Is Readable
As a final test of your new and improved ASCII resume, email it to yourself and a friend, preferably someone with a different email client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, Gmail Nike Odyssey React Black Women's , Thunderbird, etc.). Look good? Time to get that ASCII resume out there on the Web. You've probably heard about e-commerce websites. Sometimes they are known as web stores, online shops or online shopping sites. Although they may be known by different names, they are basically websites which can handle commerce online.
An e-commerce website is suitable for selling both tangible and intangible products. Tangible products may comprise consumer items such as books, clothes, computer gadgets Nike Odyssey React Desert Sand Sail Pink Women's , household items and lots more. The e-commerce website owner needs to pack and ship these products to his or her customers once he or she receives their payment. On the other hand, if you sell intangibles such as e-products (e-books, music or computer software), your customers can download these products immediately after paying you.
To set up an e-commerce websiteonline store to conduct business transactions online, you need to:
? register a domain name (for example, is a domain name)
? get a reliable web hosting provider
? designset up your e-commerce website
? consider shippingproduct delivery methods
? register with a reliable payment gateway system to process payments
The costs of the domain name as well as the web hosting are renewable yearly. As an e-commerce website owner Nike Epic React Flyknit Pure Platinum Black Blue Women's , you will need to pay for the domain name and web hosting annually in order to continue using them.
Next, you will need to get yourself an e-commerce website or a website which includes a shopping cart software which is linked to a payment gateway. This ensures you can receive payments from customers via credit card. A shopping cart software in your website helps you track what the customer buys, totals up the price, includes shipping rates, gets her details including credit card information and sends these information along to the payment gateway for processing.
The payment gateway is a separate service and should not be confused with the shopping cart software. You have to sign up or register with payment gateway provider to process payments which come through your website when a web visitor buys from you. Since it is offering a service, the payment gateway will charge you Nike Epic React Flyknit Blue Women's , the e-commerce website owner, a fee. The fees vary so it is best to always compare fees first before you decide which you want to use.
