How do I post my resume to an online job board?

Job boards require resumes to be posted as plain (ASCII) Text, so the first step is to remove the formatting from your resume.

To do this, open the resume and click the Download button. In the Download window, select Text format.  A window will open up showing your resume as plain, unformatted text.

Rather than download the text, you can simply Copy it, then Paste it to the job board! If you also wish to save the resume on your computer first, go to your browser's menu bar and save it to your desired location.

TIP: Although Text files cannot be formatted with bold, italics, etc., it is possible to get "creative" using the standard characters on your keyboard. For example, Headings can be made ALL CAPS, and text can be emphasized using rows of hyphens (-), equal signs (=), etc.  For bullets, try asterisks (*), plus signs (+), or hyphens (-).

Examples:
-----------------------------
OBJECTIVE
-----------------------------
================
EDUCATION
================

* Bullet 1
* Bullet 2

+ Bullet 1
+ Bullet 2

- Bullet 1
- Bullet 2

I love this site. It was so easy and helpful. I got six return interviews from my resume. Not bad for a mom returning to the work force after 15 years! Keep up the great job. - Leslie
