How do I keep my resume in Word in the same format when uploaded?

[Guest]

I have created a resume using Microsoft Word. Whenever I upload it to apply
for a job it comes up all as one paragraph. How do I keep it in the same
format that it is in on Word?

That might be out of your control. I am also applying for jobs and no two
places have the same system. You might want to create a plain text version
for that site.

What do you mean by creating a plain text version for that site? I'm new to
Word so I'm not familiar with everything.

Save As - plain text. Close Word and open Notepad. Tweak that file to look
right. Do NOT use fancy formats, fonts, pictures, bullets, etc. KISS that
file.

You will have to ask the site where you are uploading your résumé which
formats are supported.
