Updating the résumé should include

Students should know how to convert a résumé created in a word processing application into ASCII or plain text format with line breaks, so it can be posted on the Internet, placed into an employer’s résumé bank on a company website, or scanned by an optical character recognition (OCR) scanner.

Students should be encouraged to keep a résumé current and updated to reflect their education and experience, even if they are not currently involved in a job search.
