how do i create a resume that uploads effectively?

In my job search, I am constantly having to upload my resume in
CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com from Word. I used a template to create my
resume and for some reason, it does not upload effectively. I always have to
go back and remove strange symbols, words and punctuation marks that come
with the upload. Does anyone have a template that they have used that
uploads well to the main job search sites?

Basically, don't use any of Word's formatting features. Your best bet is NOT
to use a template. Many of them use tables. When you upload, the table
structure is lost. If they don't ask for a Word file, then don't use a Word
template to create it.
