This article describes how to post a résumé using the Copy and Paste method to post a résumé.
The "Copy and Paste" method is a good option if you already have developed and written a résumé
or if you prefer to write one without assistance.
- Click the Post Résumés link on the left menu bar. If
you haven't logged in yet you will be prompted to do so.
- Under Choose Résumé Type, select the Copy and Paste option.
- Click the Continue button.
- Under Occupational Category, select the occupation category which best describes
the type of work you are seeking.

- Under Summary Statement, enter a concise and specific statement about the
work you are seeking, and your highest level of skill to support that kind of
work. Employers will see this statement first when conducting a résumé search.
A maximum of 80 characters (including spaces) is allowed.
- Under Title, enter a résumé title that you will use later to identify this
résumé in your MyWorkSource account.
- Under Enable Search, select Yes or No to indicate whether or not you wish
your résumé to be viewed by registered employers. Only one résumé can be enabled
at a time.
Under Your Résumé, "copy and paste" the text of your résumé
into the space provided:
- Open the résumé document in the word processing program you used to create
it. If necessary, reformat your résumé so it will appear properly when viewed on
a web page or via e-mail (see Format a Résumé for help).
- Highlight the portion which you would like to include in your WorkSource résumé
(Note: it is not necessary to include your name and contact info. WorkSource will
display that for you).
- Click Edit on the word processor toolbar.
- Select Copy on the Edit menu.

- Switch back to the Post Résumé form.
- Click inside the Your Résumé text field.
- Click Edit on the web browser toolbar.
- Select Paste on the Edit menu.

- Select the Preview Résumé button to review your résumé for any text or formatting errors.
- To make changes to your résumé, click the Edit Résumé button. To save your résumé,
click the Post Résumé to WorkSource button.
A confirmation will appear stating your résumé has been posted to WorkSource.
