Although most companies will be able to handle your resume in Word format, occasionally you may need to have a plain-text resume that is been stripped of formatting. To create one, follow these steps:

☛ Copy your resume into a plain text editor like Notepad, which should be available as an accessory on your computer. Most of the formatting should be gone.

☛ Change any remaining bullets to asterisks and space once after the asterisk.

☛ For your main section headings, such as Work Experience, change to all caps so the headings stand out.

☛ Add spacing between sections as necessary for readability.
