If
You Have a Word-Processed Resume
If
the resume was created in a word processor (like MS Word
or WordPerfect), you will want to save it as an plain
text file – and do some cleanup work – before
you start cutting and pasting.
How
to Create a Text File of the Resume
Set
up Account Information
Filling
out the ACCOUNT INFORMATION form is the first step in
creating your client's CareerFolio. In this section,
you will also select a password so that you (or your
client) can access and update the CareerFolio throughout
the hosting period.
Set
up Contact Information
The
information you provide in this section will be visible
on the CareerFolio. We recommend that you limit contact
information to name and email.
The
contact information can be changed later, but
the URL for the CareerFolio will be based on the information
you provide when you complete this section.
The
CareerFolio's URL (web address) will be based on the
information you provide in the "contact information"
section when you setup the CareerFolio.
The
URL cannot be changed at a later date.

file "window" next to the CareerFolio form.
When it is positioned properly, you can easily cut and
paste blocks of text into the CareerFolio form fields.

You can always come back later and make
changes or try different layouts. CareerFolios offers
complete flexibility and unlimited updating, so you can
"experiment" to your heart's content! |
