Common elements of most successful Web resumes include the following:

• E-friendly fonts, like Times New Roman and Arial

• Left-justified block text formatting, with minimal tabs or columns

• Detailed, comprehensive qualifications summaries containing key phrases and industry-specific vocabulary

• Ability to be cut and pasted into e-mails or the fields of Web-based forms

While a print resume and a Web resume may differ, very often they are now one and the same. Acceptable formatting and technology have caught up with one another and employers now typically print a Web resume as a candidate's official resume. Generally, it is a Microsoft Word document.
