Answering Employment Ads received in E-Mail

[ednag]

I have signed up with a couple of job search companies such as Monster,
Indeed etc.. When I attempt to fill out the applications for the positions
shown, they as a rule, instruct me to copy and paste my resume into their
application form. Most of the time it doesn't work at all and when it does
the resume comes out scrambled. What should I do. I recently purchased the
Student/Teacher software and am not certain if I am doing this correctly.

I suggest that you contact "Monster, Indeed etc." and ask them for
assistance, as they will best be able to guide you through the process. There
is no "generic" method used by every employment agency for collecting this
information, so it's not possible to provide a single answer that will
resolve the problems you have encountered. In fact, the problem may not be
Word-related at all, but rather something to do with the application form on
the website.

Further to Gordon's comments, most web forms are text only and thus do not
accommodate Word formatting. Save a copy of your resume as plain text. Open
it in Notepad and format it as you want it to appear and paste it from there
to the web form.
