I want to use a bullet followed by a single word then a tab followed by some lines of text.

This is for a CV/resume where the single word is the job title followed by a description of the job after the tab. The problem is when the line of text needs more than one line and then continues on the next line aligned with the bullet NOT the tab. I hope the following example comes across okay, but this is what I want

LUMBERJACK (tab) Chopped down trees, experience with
chainsaws (should be here)

I cannot find a way of moving the line of text over
Thank
 
On the top ruler you will see two little "home plates" with a small
rectangle below the bottom one. The bottom "home plate" is where the text
will wrap to. It also shows the amount of indent from the bullet to the
text. What you do is to click the bottom "home plate" (make sure you are on
it and not on the rectangle) and move it to the right and release it where
you want the word wrapping to go. If you do it right the top "home plate"
will stay put. Then click your mouse on the ruler where the bottom "home
plate" used to be to insert a TAB. This will align the bullet back to where
it was and now you will have a new "indent" location.

Holler back if this does not make sense.
