  8. as you want without wasting any paper!  So try a few combinations to "what-|

  49. remain the same as for other resume formats.                               |
  50.                                                                            |
  51.   By targeting your resume, you may create many different versions of your |
  52. resume from the same personal history file. For example, you may apply for |
  53. three diverse occupations: teaching, computer analysis, and professional   |
  54. water polo.  You may "target" your resumes by selecting the skills that go |
  55. with each of those occupations, producing resumes that make you look like  |
  56. a specialist in each of those areas.                                       |

  66.                                                          printing your     |

  83.     When we first figured out that we weren't always right, and that       |
  84.   you might prefer to think a little for yourself, we realized that        |
  85.   you probably have an opinion about how you want your resume to look.     |
  86.   Sensitive as we are, we worked long hard hours to prepare this           |
  87.   selection routine for you to put your resume in TIP TOP form!            |
  88.                                                                            |
  89.     Selecting the order is as simple as moving the lightbar with           |
  90.   the cursor or arrow keys on your numeric keypad to the section           |
  91.   you want, and pressing the SPACEBAR.  A number will appear to the        |
  92.   left of the section you just selected, indicating the order the          |
  93.   sections will appear on your resume.   When you have finished            |
  94.   selecting, press RETURN.  The "Are you sure?" message will appear.       |
  95.                                                                            |
  96.      If you change your mind, enter "N" when the "Are you sure?"           |
  97.   message appears at the bottom of your screen and repeat the              |
  98.   process.                                                                 |

  103. Forward Page: Lets you scroll forward through your entire resume on the    |
  104.               screen so you know what it looks like before you print it    |
  105.               out. (Most resumes are too long to be displayed all on one   |
  106.               screen)                                                      |
  107.                                                                            |
  108. Back Page   : Lets you scroll backwards (like turning the pages of a book  |
  109.               from the back to the front) to see the parts or your resume  |
  110.               that were already displayed on the screen.                   |
  111.                                                                            |
  112. Print       : Prints your resume in its entirety.  Be sure your printer is |
  113.               attached and on-line before you select this option. If it is |
  114.               not, and your computer locks up, simply shut it off, then    |
  115.               begin again.  It will not affect the contents of your        |
  116.               personal history file.                                       |
