To Add a Heading: Click the "Add Section" button at the bottom of your resume. You can choose from a list of headings, or create your own custom heading by typing it in the "Custom Section" field at the top of the "Add Section" screen and clicking "Save". The heading will appear at the bottom of your resume. Use the "Move Section" drag and drop function to relocate the heading to where you want it on your resume. Heading names can also be edited by clicking the "Edit Heading Name" icon to the right of the heading name.

To Remove a Heading: Click the Trash Can icon ("Remove Heading") to the far right of that heading. NOTE: If you delete the heading, you will be permanently deleting all content within that section, so if you want to paste that text into new heading, make sure to copy it (using keyboard command) before deleting the heading.

Open the original Resume or Letter, then click Duplicate (4th icon in the toolbar) and Name the new document. Be sure the name is different from the original name.

HINT: Choose a name that will help you identify this document later. For example, TJX Sales Rep, rather than just Version 2.

You now have a separate copy that you can edit, and your original stays the same.

Ideally, you should do this each time you apply for a different position, so you can customize the resume to match the employer's specific criteria.

When you log into your account (by clicking LOGIn in the upper right corner of the screen) you will arrive at your Account page, where you can reactivate your Membership. In the "Reactivate Membership" section, simply choose from a Monthly or Annual Membership (click the Reactivate button), update your credit card information and click Reactivate.

You can also reactivate your account by phone by calling 1-866-486-4660.

• With your resume or letter open in Preview mode, click the "Download" button.
