Email Can I upload a Word resume into the Resume Builder?

Not directly, but you can copy the text from Microsoft Word and paste it into the Resume Builder using the process outlined below.

The first step is to remove any bullets in the Word resume, and convert the document to plain text. (This is necessary because the text won't align properly if you paste formatted text from the Word document into the Resume Builder.)

1. Open your resume in Word.
2. Remove all bulleting in the resume. (You can add it back in later).
3. Choose Save As from the File menu.
4. Type in a new File Name (any name will do), and where it says Save as type, select Plain Text from the dropdown menu, then click Save.
5. You now have a plain text resume that you can copy, section by section, into the Resume Builder.

You'll need to have both the plain text Word document and the Resume Builder open at the same time so you can move back and forth between them.

As you create your resume in the Resume Builder, you can Copy the appropriate text from the Word document, then Paste it into the corresponding section of the Resume Builder. Use the formatting buttons in the edit window of each section of your new resume to recreate your bullet lists, bold, italics, or underlining.
