Tips on filling in the resume form
Email: this is vital, as it is a means for both us and employers to contact you. Should you change your e-mail address change please change it in your online resume.
login and password: choose your own - it can be anything! You can change them whenever you want by deleting your current choice and typing in
something new then clicking update at the bottom of the form.
Address: This is confidential and does not appear on your resume. It is simply for our records.
Phone numbers: In most cases employers will contact you by phone. You can choose
whether your contact numbers are visible or hidden. If you choose to keep them hidden the following message appears on your resume, For contact numbers call JournalistUSA... and we will pass on your numbers.
Primary and Secondary Job Types: these are your two main job types, the
two areas in which you would most like to work. (You can, if you prefer, list a primary job type and leave the secondary job type blank.) These are
displayed alongside your name. This provides employers with a quick and easy
method of distinguishing a candidates main area of work. Primary and
Secondary job types do not affect searches. (For further information see
Job Types below.)
About Me: this section is for you to promote yourself to employers. You
might wish to emphasise certain career experience, or lay down your intended
career path. Really, it's a means for an employer to tell what youve done
and what you're hoping to do, and for you to communicate your objectives.
Credits/Employment History: There is a limit of 4,000 characters (approx.
1.5 sides of A4) in this field. (You can upload a Word version of your resume
which can be of any length and would include your personalized formatting -
see Help page when you're logged in.) As with the About Me section, you
have free rein over what you write. Here are a couple of suggestions... but
they are by no means absolute, as different people have different
approaches... If you're very experienced and have many credits you might not
wish to go into too much detail about each particular role & publication. If you're
more junior you might wish to write a few sentences on each publication -
what it was, what your role involved. If you have no credits, put
in your other work experience, and in your About Me section explain how
the skills you have acquired can translate from one industry to the publishing industry. A snippet taken from the top of your credits section is displayed next to your name in the resume search results - click on Search on the menu bar to see how employers search and how we list resumes.
Job Types: You can tick more than one job type, but we ask that you fill
in your main two job types (see Primary and Secondary job types above). It
is from these that searches are run. Several job types may be applicable, select the job types most suitable to you. You can choose a
maximum of four. For junior candidates
we recommend that you tick the main job area
you are interested in working.
