Answer to Question 1

Answer: A scannable rsum differs from the traditional format in two major ways: it always includes a keyword summary, and it avoids underlining, special characters, and other elements that can confuse the scanning system.
Software programs read scannable rsums, so they must include keyword summaries and must avoid formatting that may confuse the software program.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Even if most of all of your application efforts take place online, starting with a traditional paper rsum is still useful. In the process, you'll organize your background information and identify your unique strengths. In addition, planning and writing a traditional rsum will help you generate blocks of text you can reuse throughout the job process. Finally, you never know when someone might ask for your rsum during a networking event or other in-person encounter, and that person's interest may wane in the time it takes for him or her to get your information online.
