Step 7: Copy and paste your resume onto the job site.
Now that you've prepared your resume, it's time to post it online. It couldn't be simpler just copy the text from your Plain Text document and paste it into the appropriate field on the resume website.
Preview Your Resume
Almost all resume websites have a Preview option, which allows you to view your e-resume as it will appear on the recruiter's screen. By all means, choose this option. After you've clicked the Preview button, your entire e-form, including the resume you copied and pasted, will come up so that you can:
- Proofread your writing
- Examine the formatting of the e-resume you pasted in
If you see anything you want to change, click the Edit button and fix the error. Preview and edit as many times as necessary. When you're satisfied, click Submit to send your e-resume.
Note: Not all websites use the same terminology (some have a button that says “Send” instead of “Submit”), so you may have to do a little interpreting to get the job done.
