adding more employment to resume template

[Upatnite22]

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!

 

[JoAnn Paules]

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).

 

[Upatnite22]

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.

You could just email your document (what version of word do you use?

(e-mail address removed) and I can take a look (fix it).

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.

Hi Summer,

I'm composing an email at this very moment and will email to you very
shortly. Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

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.

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.

Two is acceptable - I can't get my experience out on one page. Believe me,
getting it down to two was a nightmare.

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.
