email your PDF resume directly

by Resume Digest on 05 Mar 2010 permalink
A new 'Email' menu has been added.
Put in the reply email address you see in the job advertisement.
Put in a brief cover letter or paragraph with you name and phone number.
And you're done! No need to download the PDF file to your hard drive and attach it again in your email program.

Barry Smith says:
I like it! Saves messing around with file attachments - you're always in danger of sending the wrong resume version to the wrong person. This way it is neat and fast.


Spacing out to fill the page

by Jeremy Smith on 07 Jan 2010
My work history and academic records do not fill up the page. How can I space things out so that the PDF resume looks appealing to the eye?

Resume Digest says:
Just prefix the company name or institution name with a = and that will insert some blank space.


Date format

by Suzy Wilson on 18 Dec 2009
I notice some PDF examples have an American date format while others have a British date format. What is happening?

Resume Digest says:
This an international website. Your computer tells us which date format to use in your resume. As far as the examples are concerned we wanted to showcase the fact that we cope with multiple date formats. Likewise when you take up your subscription through PayPal we also determine the currency in use in your country - or failling that fall back to US dollars.


PDF page break

by Vince Taylor on 14 Dec 2009
My resume spans two pages as a PDF document - how do I control where the page break will occur?

Resume Digest says:
Just prefix the company name with a '@' character where you want the page break to occur and that will do it.


MS Word resume

by Mitch Miller on 10 Dec 2009
How do I get Resume Digest output as a Microsoft Word document?

Resume Digest says:
Click the HTML menu on the top right of the screen. Select all and copy to the clipboard. Open MS Word and paste in a new document. Adjust margins to suit and you're done!
