My Résumé tips for using résumés on Job Center of Wisconsin

It has come to my attention that many do not know what can be done with a résumé from the Job Center of Wisconsin.

These are a few of the tricks I have learned by experimenting.

On the homepage find Job Seeker Tools.
Go to My Résumé.
Pick a résumé you want to use. (On Job Center of Wisconsin 3 résumés are allowed.)

Go to bottom of the page to find these selections.

Select Preview/Print

A prompt appears on the screen to open or save.
Select open.

Then edit to customize the résumé or copy and paste to websites. Copy and paste in Word for best results. Proofread before saving.

You can also rearrange the résumé.

If you don’t like it, just close it out.

Stay logged in to Job Center of Wisconsin to go back to your résumé, to start editing again.
This is good for when you need a current, customized résumé for an interview. Just print it when satisfied
 

I keep hearing about customizing resumes and overhearing people not knowing that they CAN do things with the résumé on Job Center of Wisconsin.

I also believe the job counselors do not know this about Job Center of Wisconsin résumés. I never hear them show people how to do it.

New!

(On Job Center of Wisconsin 3 résumés are allowed.) I am currently experimenting with having 3 résumés on the site. Each résumé customized. All 3 are active and searchable. I have noticed more views since having 3. But no bites yet.

And I found the link to view a what is seen by an employer.  Go to Update resume, then to the Finish /Activate, then select Preview Your Match Profile

I copy and paste the link in the browser, it works! see mine here Plastic Injection Molding Machine Operator/Extruder

That is what I have been learning and doing with my Job Center of Wisconsin résumé every day on my job hunt.
