Resume

FirstClass provides every user with a resume, which is a special form designed to contain personal information.

Other users (on the same server as yourself) can open this form if they want to see information about you.

Your resume is blank until you update it.

In addition, conferences and calendars may have resumes to provide information about them.

Creating a Resume

To add personal information to your resume:

1. From the Menu toolbar select File> Open> Resume, alternatively click on the Resume icon on the toolbar
2. Type your name in the top field
3. If desired you can paste your picture from the clipboard into the top left corner
4. Type any information that you think would be useful to other users in the bottom field. For ideas about what to write, look at other users' resumes
5. Close the resume to automatically save your changes

Viewing a Resume

You can view other users resumes and see the information they have written about themselves.

Setting up a resume is optional.

If you try to view a resume that doesn't exist you will get an error message.

If however another user has opened a resume, but left it blank this would then open.

Tip - Viewing a Resume
