Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When preparing a plain-text version of her résumé to insert into the body of an e-mail, Sarah will need to reformat her résumé with shorter lines. Plain-text versions of résumés have limited formatting options, and long lines can become difficult to read on different email programs or web browsers. Shorter lines make it easier for the reader to follow the content and ensure that the résumé maintains its formatting when received by the employer. Saving the résumé as a .doc or .docx file, using a different font, or choosing the functional style are not relevant considerations when creating a plain-text version of the résumé.
