... MAIN MENU ...
1. CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME -- Select this option if you want
to create or edit a chronological-type resume. A
chronological-type resume emphasizes career growth and
past employers. Best used when your job target ties
in directly to your past work experience, or you had
a prestigous last employer.
2. TARGETED RESUME -- Select this option to create or
edit a targeted-type resume. A targeted-type resume
allows you to custom-tailor your resume to a specific
job. De-emphasizes past work experience. Best when you
are concentrating on a specific job, or have had very
little past work experience.
3. VIEW A RESUME -- Select this option to preview your
resume before printing.
4. PRINT RESUME -- Select this option when resume is
completed and ready to be printed. Before selecting
this option, make sure you have first selected the
type of printer you will be using (Option #6).
5. UTILITIES -- The two utility options are:
A) SELECT DELIMINATOR CHARACTER -- This allows
you to select the type of character that is
used to mark the beginning of each new job
duty, achievment, and ability on your printed
resume. The default and preferred character is
■. However, some printers are unable to print
this character. If your printer will not print
■, then select deliminator character *. Before
doing this, you might want to check your
printer manual. Some printers are capable of
printing different character sets. To print ■,
your printer must be using the IBM character
set.
B) SHELL TO DOS -- Allows you to perform DOS
functions such as copying and erasing files
without having to exit Resume Master. Type
EXIT to return to Resume Master.
6. SELECT PRINTER --
LASER -- Select to print on a
HP compatible laser printer
IBM/EPSON -- Select for
dot-matrix printers that are IBM
or Epson compatible.
GENERIC -- If your resume is
printed with strange characters
or you get unexpected results
after using the LASER or IBM/EPSON
printer mode, select the GENERIC
print mode. You will not get
underlining or "highlighted" text,
so use only as a last resort.
H E L P S C R E E N
... PERSONAL INFORMATION ...
This screen should be self-explanatory. Simply fill in
the input boxes as presented.
NOTE: If an item does not apply, or you do not want it
listed on your resume, then simply leave it blank
and it will not print. DO NOT enter things like
N/A or None. For example, if you do not want to
be contacted at work, leave the input box
"Work Phone:" blank.
H E L P S C R E E N
... JOB TARGET ...
Enter the position that you are applying for -- such
as Assistant Manager.
NOTE: In place of a specific job target, you may use a
general statement like, "Data Processing Position".
This approach should at least get your resume to
the right department.
If you do not have any particular job or department
in mind, a statement like, "Position Commensurate
With My Experience And Abilities", will suffice or
simply leave it blank and it will not print.
H E L P S C R E E N
... EMPLOYMENT ...
This screen should be self-explanatory. Simply fill in
the input boxes on the screen.
NOTE: If you have not had three past employers, then
leave blank any sections that do not apply and
they will not print. ALWAYS list at least one
employer, even if it is for babysitting,
yardwork, community service, etc.
On CHRONOLOGICAL resumes, a "■" marks the start of each job
duty. There are 4 job duties for each employer.
Each job duty can be up to 2 lines long. On any job duty
that is only one line long, skip the second line
and go to the next job duty.
H E L P S C R E E N
... ACHIEVMENTS ...
List up to 8 of your past achievments. If you cannot
think of 8 achievments, then leave the rest blank.
An easy way to determine what could be listed as an
achievement is to pretend to start the sentence with
the phrase "I HAVE ..." and see if it makes sence.
EXAMPLES: (I HAVE) Managed a staff of 12 employees.
(I HAVE) Designed residential buildings.
NOTE: A "■" marks the start of each achievment.
You may list up to 8 achievments. Each
achievment can be up to 2 lines long. On any
achievment that is only one line long, skip
the second line and go to the next achievment.
H E L P S C R E E N
... CAPABILITIES ...
List up to 8 of your Capabilities. If you cannot
think of 8 Capabilities, then leave the rest blank.
An easy way to determine what could be listed as an
capability is to pretend to start the sentence with
the phrase "I AM ..." or "I CAN ..." and see if it
makes sence.
EXAMPLES: (I AM) Able to work independently.
(I CAN) Program in several different
languages including COBAL and "C".
NOTE: A "■" marks the start of each capability.
You may list up to 8 Capabilities. Each
capability can be up to 2 lines long. On any
capability that is only one line long, skip
the second line and go to the next capability.
H E L P S C R E E N
... EDUCATION ...
LAST YEAR ATTENDED: Year graduated or last year
attended.
