My resume makes heavy use of bullet points with hanging indents. On Monster.com, I was able to upload the resume in Word format, and it came through looking just the way it does on paper--no problem.

However, on a couple of other job-search sites, this resume hasn't worked out so well. I've saved an alternate version as straight ASCII text, monospaced font, line breaks, space bars as appropriate in lieu of the hanging indents. And it didn't come out looking very good online even so.

Finally, just to get my resume posted on these sites, I did a simplified version with asterisks instead of the bullets, and no hanging indents, like so:

*I performed this job function, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
*I performed that job function, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
*I performed the other job function, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Is this good enough in this context? I should probably mention that I was a typesetter for 15 years (I'm in a different field now), so it's entirely possible that I'm sweating the formatting too much.

Thanks for your insights.
