| Resume
doesn't look like it will fit within the text box
provided |
| How
your resume looks in the text box is not necessarily how it
will look when an employer views it. After you complete
creating/updating your resume profile, you will be shown a
preview of your information. This format is the same that
employers will see. You will be given an option to modify
your information from the resume review screen. |
|
| Using
HTML when formatting your resume within the text box |
| Do not
use HTML when submitting your resume. Your resume will be
viewed by recruiters with widely varying screen dimensions,
including Palm Pilots. Your resume might be converted into
straight ASCII text and imported into a database or resume
management software. |
|
| Removing
your resume from the database |
| Choose
the "Edit Resume" option on the navigator bar. You
may be asked to log in. At the top of your resume is a
"Profile is Active" check box. Un-check this box
if you wish to remove your resume from the searchable
database. |
|
| Verifying
your resume is 'active' |
| Choose
the "Edit Resume" option on the navigator bar. You
may be asked to log in. At the top of your resume is a
"Profile is Active" check box. If that box is
checked, and it is by default, your resume is part of the
searchable database. |
|
| Selecting
more than one choice in a list box |
| To
select multiple choices in a drop down box, hold down the
'Control' key while clicking the options with the mouse. Use
the 'Shift' key if your using a Macintosh. |
|
| Your
resume's confidentiality |
| When
you enter your profile information, you have the option of
making certain portions private by checking the "Keep
Private" boxes. When you enter your resume, you should
make sure that it reflects any privacy you indicated in your
contact information. |
|
| Printing
your resume |
| When
you are reviewing your resume, click into that frame. From
your browser's menu, select 'File' and 'Print - only
selected frame.' |
|
| Targeting
your job search |
|
You can fine tune your job
search by using specific keywords in the Keyword Search. If
these keywords are in any part of a job, the search will
return those jobs.
- Example keywords:
marketing, business administration
These words will result in job descriptions that include
either marketing or business administration or both.
- Example: Business
Administration
These words together result in job descriptions that
include both words in the order you type them in.
- Example: Business
Administration and marketing and entry level
These words result in job descriptions that include all
of these words.
|
| How
your Job Agents work |
| Every
hour, your Agents will search the job database. If a new job
has been added that contains your Agent's criteria, that job
will be emailed to you! Enter the keywords that a job should
contain in the "Keyword(s)" box. Create a
memorable name for your these keywords. Each time you
use an Agent, it will re-index the database and return jobs
in chronological order. |
|
| Changing
your username and password |
|
You will not be able to
change your username or password. If you lose your password,
you can click on the "Forgot Password' link on the left
navigation bar. If you have forgotten your username, you
will need to register again.
|
|
| Creating
multiple resumes |
| If
you have a reason to create multiple resumes, you will need
to register as a new user each time you enter a new resume.
Only one resume is associated with a specific username and
password. |
