Using the Filetype Syntax - Boolean Search

The Google search syntax filetype: allows you to identify the type of file you are looking for. This type of search can target resumes which are typically uploaded online in Word or Text document formats.

Example: Combine this syntax with your inurl: syntax for an even more specific search.

For example...
inurl:resume filetype:doc (Java | J2ee) (Chennai) (Developer | programmer)
inurl:resume filetype:pdf (PHP AND Wordpress) (Chennai) (Developer | programmer)

This search string will produce results of web pages with resume in the URL which also have a
Word document uploaded.

Other file types you can try:
• filetype:pdf  • filetype:docx   • filetype:txt
