Resume Shop
System Requirements:
IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatibles
MS-DOS 2.0 or greater
256K RAM or greater
* No known conflicts with other memory resident programs.
If you have any problems with Resume Shop running with other
software, please let us know through the "User Response
Form."
Installation:
Floppy Based Resume Shop Systems: The program and data files
necessary to run Resume Shop are small and should fit on one
diskette. Please make a backup copy of the Resume Shop disk.
This way if you have a problem, you will have a back up
available.
Hard Disk Resume Shop Systems: Create a sub directory off the
root called "RESUME" with the make directory (MD) DOS command.
C:> MD RESUME <enter>
Then change the current directory(CD) to "RESUME" and use the copy
command from the a: to c: drive.
C:> CD RESUME <enter>
C:> COPY A:*.* C: <enter>
Hard disk users may want to create a batch file to take them
automatically to the "RESUME" sub directory and execute the
"RESUME.EXE" program file.
Config.Sys:
Resume Shop does require that CONFIG.SYS has the following entries
FILES = 20
BUFFERS = 15
There may be a need for additional tinkering with your DOS
environment based on the equipment and software installed. You
should consult with your system manuals for more information.

Screen Colors:
This version of Resume Shop has various screen color
possibilities. To use colors other than the defaults of green,
black, white and blue use the RESCFG.EXE program included with the
RESUME SHOP disk. If you are using a monochrome monitor, the
RESCFG.EXE program will also let you set those values. After
setting and saving your values, an entry will be made into
RESUME.CFG. Please DO NOT erase this file at any time.
Note... RESCFG must be executed outside of RESUME SHOP and
not while under the DOS Shell. To start the program type
C > RESCFG
at the DOS prompt and follow the instructions on the bottom of
the screen. Experiment with the colors and hit F3 to exit without
saving and F10 to quit with new screen colors. F1 will display
color options and instructions.

Resume Shop
The Design:
Resume Shop is written to be used much like a menu you would see
in a restaurant when ordering dinner. Instead of telling the
waitress your order, you type the letter selection into Resume
Shop and executes your request. For example, if you want to add
or change information regarding your educational background, you
type b and hit enter to start processing the changes you wish to
make.
gSOFT built Resume Shop with the novice user in mind. It is our
goal to have the computer do as much of the work as it can. We
have kept the rules limited and the low is consistent with how you
would write a resume with pen and paper. Resume Shop is a WYSIWYG
(What you see is what you get) field editor so type just as you
would want to see the text on your resume. There is nothing you
can do with this product which can hurt your computer so feel free
to experiment with the software. Any restrictions or warnings are
identified below.
The Don'ts:
o Don't delete any files from the program disk which have a (.exe)
suffix or a (resume.) Prefix. These are program and data files
necessary for the Resume Shop Program to work.
o Don't try to type outside any of the highlighted areas reserved
for input. Resume Shop is set up to read only what is inside the
entry.
The Do's:
o Make a copy of the program disk before you start the product.
This way if you erase a file by mistake you still have our
original program intact.
o Do experiment and let me know if there is anything additional
you would like to see or something you would like changed.
o If you have any problems or suggestions, please let gSOFT know
and we will be glad to make the changes available to register
users.

About Resumes:
Resumes are the first impression you will be giving a
potential employer. You must be informative and concise
(this is why Resume Shop creates a one page resume).
Identify the points in your background and experience that
are relevant to the position you're applying for. Know a
little about the company and there business and traits
Don't be afraid to have several resumes for
different types of jobs with different employers. You should
target you resume to the type of firm. Be modest don't
oversell your accomplishments or come off as a bragger.
Identify the successes. Make sure your sentences are to the
point and watch grammar and
