It did not take me long to set up another resume online when I encountered problems with Jobstreet.com

I went to Emurse.com, a site that provides free resume deposit online. The site is pretty friendly. Sign up and use immediately. You don’t have to wait for email confirmation.

The flow is clear and simple. Editing and changes are reflected live with few seconds delay. You don’t have to click on some save button. Users have the flexibility to add more parts to selected sections such as Job Experience and Education Background  for those who has a lot to list.

After you’ve filled up everything, then you can proceed to choose the layout design for your resume. This feature is rather neat. That means you can have a nicer design.

Once you’re done. You can export your resume to several file types such as .doc, .pdf, .rtf, .html and .txt. User is also given an option to have the resume online. You can have a web address that will point to your resume if you choose to have this option.

No single resume building tool can give us 100% of what we need. So I still need to do some work but it helped me to shorten my time spent on typing and adjusting the formatting and layout. What I did was exported the resume into document and do some editing from then onwards.

Of course I could still choose to do a print out or save document directly from Jobstreet.com now that they have fixed the thing.

Special thanks to Pooi Kuan from Jobstreet.com who left a comment on my pevious post. I’m glad they did something about it.

Yes I went back to check the printing and save option. I chose to print to Adobe PDF. There is not more ads and Jobstreet logo. I don’t know what happen, the file came out with one (1) page only.

Next I tried saving to document. The table formating is still a bit out but I could fix it by converting tables to text using the table tool.

I guess there is no free lunch in this world. If you want a job badly, you have to put in some effort. I mailed my application this morning. Yey!
