After you have Created your Profile, you will want to create your resume. Before you create your resume, though, please be aware of the Privacy Issues inherent in posting your resume online.

The simplest way to create your resume, after you have created your personal Resume page, is to simply copy and paste it from your favourite word processing program (Word, Wordperfect, Open Office, etc) into your Resume page.

This will eliminate all formatting which, in this case, is a good thing. Most large corporations, and many smaller ones these days, utilize internal resume searching programs (like Microsoft does, as detailed in this video(approve sites)). These will convert your resume to plain text whether you like it or not.

As a result, Resume Wiki only allows the saving of resumes in plain text format, though we do allow mild formatting like bold and italics.

The second reason for this is that we don't want people to get bogged down in discussions about how your resume should look or what resume template you should employ. The most important part of your resume is the content, which is what the community is here to help you with.

You will probably want to include the following text at the bottom or top of your resume page:

This Resume is for Example Name. Feel free to click on Example Name for my Profile.
