Yahoo! HotJobs provides three different ways to create a resume: Resume Builder, Text Editor (Cut & Paste), and Upload.
To begin:
- Click on the "My Resumes" tab
- Select the resume creation method that you would like to use. If you select the Text Editor or the Resume Builder method, you will be asked to enter a Resume title, as well as select whether or not you want to create an online version of your resume. For resumes that you upload, the resume title will automatically be saved with the same name as the file that your resume is stored in.
PLEASE NOTE: The red stars you see on the form indicate information that is required in order to post your resume to Yahoo! HotJobs.
The Resume Builder option walks you through the resume creation process:
- Select one of 10 resume design templates.
- Click on the "Continue" button to proceed through the creation process. This will also save the information that you have entered on that page.
- Once you have selected and completed all desired and required fields, select the "continue" button to enter your employment profile information.
The Text Editor (Cut & Paste) option lets you cut and paste an existing resume into Yahoo! HotJobs:
- Use your computer's "Copy" and "Paste" functions to transfer the text from any open document that is in ASCII to the resume box. (Almost all modern word processing programs are in ASCII.)
- Click on the "Continue" button to enter your employment profile information.
The Upload option lets you upload an existing resume stored as a Microsoft Word document from your computer or disk, which retains all formatting:
- Click on the "Browse" button to locate the file name of your saved ".doc" formatted resume. Your resume will then be uploaded and and all formatting (bold, italics, bullets, etc.) will be retained to display exactly as in your .doc file.
- Click on the "Continue" button to enter your employment profile information.
As an added benefit to our job seekers, when storing more than one resume within your account only one employment profile will be saved. Previously there were separate profiles required for each resume. Due to popular demand, we have discontinued this feature. Going forward if you currently have an employment profile saved and want to store more than one resume, you will be prompted to update your employment profile every time you edit or add resumes.
Once you have completed the employment profile, you will now be able to preview your resume. If you are satisfied with your entry, then click the orange "continue" button toward the bottom of the screen. Your resume will automatically be saved and searchable by direct employers and staffing agencies. To edit your search settings, click on the My Resumes tab and make the appropriate choice via the Search Settings section on the right side of the Resume Manager page.
Note: Windows XP users may have trouble with this method.
