adding more employment to resume template
I'm using the Computer Technician Resume. I need to add addition employment
history. For each job listed, there seem to be two seperate table formats, one for the job name, city, state & year, and one below it for the job description, how do I add more history? I tried cut & paste, I've also tried putting the cursor at the end of the table and hittng Enter, however, that will only duplicate the current table but not both the Job name table & job description table. HELP! |

Just add rows to the table.

Select the two relevant rows and copy, then experiment with pasting till you
get the desired result (this may take some trial and error). -- Suzanne S.

adding more employment to resume template
Thank you JoAnn for you response, however, I'm afraid that I missed my point.
Inserting rows doesn't give me the desired effect that i'm looking for because there is still the job description table beneath the Job name. Perhaps if you have the time, you could download the Computer Technician resume through Word's Getting Started side bar to see the fields that I'm talking about. Let me know what u think. Thank again.

adding more employment to resume template
Thank you also Suzanne for you reply, however, I've tried that idea a while
ago. The problem here is there is no place to put the cursor when I paste from the preceding table or Work History table. All that happends is the table below just get replaced with the table I've copied from above therefore, addition 'Work History' tables don't get created only replaced. If I try to paste outside of the table, meaning to the far right, all the cell become misaligned and screwed up. "Suzanne S.

I downloaded it and it's doable but it's going to take some work on your
part. (I've only recently started using Word 2007 so I'm not as quick as I am in 2003.) First - turn on the table grid and the non-printing characters so you can see what's going on in the background. You can add rows below the last job and then copy and paste data from the rows above. You'll have to split some of the cells, etc. If you don't want to do that, create your own table from scratch and make it look like that template. To be honest with you, I wouldn't bother. I really don't like that template - *but that's just my opinion*. I can't even figure out why but that layout doesn't do a thing for me. Maybe it's because my resume just would not work in that format. It has waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much white space. I'd need 5 pages to get all of my text into that format. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Upatnite22" wrote in message ...

adding more employment to resume template
Well there you have it! JoAnn, I want to Give you BIG THANKS for all your
help. I've considered using a different template, what I liked most about this one are the lines which seperated the categories and it also allows me to list my hardware and software skills. Curious, I always thought white space provided a clean, easy-on-the-eyes read affect. But I see your point, I could a few things such as the dates perhaps. JoAnn take care of yourself and I hope you receive the same kind help in your travels throught your life.

Employers have a short attention span. If they have to wade through pages of
text they are not going to bother. Any resume that is much more than 1 page long is not worth the paper it is written on. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Upatnite22 wrote: Well there you have it!

Two is acceptable - I can't get my experience out on one page. Believe me,
getting it down to two was a nightmare. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Interesting thought - getting the same kind of help that I give. I told
someone to RTFM once - and I've told myself that several times, does that count? ;-) Good luck with the job hunting. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Upatnite22" wrote in message ...
