Lisa Epstein said… - Hi Miriam - sorry for the tardy reply, I was off enjoying the summer.
Your question regarding resume scanning is not easy to answer because employers have many options when they make use of the Monster resume database search. Some will specifically search by date range (as in recently uploaded resumes), and some just by school name/ degree. Some employers are more interested in searching by level of experience. So you see, there are so many variables.
Here's a tip, if you already have a resume uploaded on Monster, if you make any change at all and then save your changes, the database will push it to the top of the list because of the recent activity. And many employers will select a recent date range when searching for candidates.
Personally, I would advise the job seeker to represent himself as honestly as possible, meaning note the latest graduation date; this way he will avoid having to backtrack at an interview.

The thing is a friend of mine knows someone who restructures resumes and although this person does not no anything about me the response he had emailed her was quiet discouraging and I felt really stupied. So I will send u my resume I know any feed back from u would be corrective criticism not negitive stuff. Thank U =)
