Which type of résumé format should be used if the employer wants the résumé sent via email without an attachment or to fill out an online application?

A) Scannable
B) Digital
C) Plain-text file
D) Printed
E) PDF

A plain-text file is the best format for sending a resume via email or filling out an online application as it can easily be copy-pasted into the employer's system. Scannable resumes are designed to be read by an optical character reader and are typically used for in-person job fairs. Digital resumes can be any format, including PDF, and are usually used when submitting a resume through an online system that accepts various file types. Printed resumes are best used for in-person interviews or mailed applications. PDF resumes are not recommended as they may not be compatible with the employer's system and are difficult to edit.
