how do I creat a "word" formated resume?

Question

I am applying for a job. The employer wants a "word" formated copy of my resume. What is a word formated resume, and how do I creat one.<<<<<<<<<<<<< HELP>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Answer 1

if you already have a copy of your resume (for example in your email) just copy and then paste it on the MS Word Document. Then save it and send it again to the prospective employer. Good luck!

Answer 2

The use of the word "word" in your question refers to Microsoft Word, the word-processing software. The employer wants your resume to be prepared using Microsoft Word.

If the resume is to be submitted electronically, such as an e-mail attachment, this makes some sense, as the employer wants the document to be compatible with his software (which we can safely assume is Microsoft Word). But, Word can open documents created using other software as well, the employer just either isn't aware of that; or he is just avoiding the headache of receiving a resume that Word cannot read because it was created in a format that Word doesn't support.

If the resume is to be faxed or mailed, then you don't want to work for this a$$hole, because ONLY an a$$hole could be critical of what software you used to create your resume.

Answer 3

A word formated resume is one that is formated for use with Microsoft Word found in Microsoft Office programs.

Some word processing programs will save your document in a word format.

You can find many free resume templates formatted in word at Microsoft or the resource below...

Answer 5

You have to have Microsoft Word on your computer. If you do just type it in a new file and email it out. If you do not have Word on your computer you could try Kinko's or a friend that has a good computer that you could use. If you still cant find one then you should print a hard copy in whatever format you have and overnight it or hand deliver it to your potential employer.

Answer 6

I HATE WORD.

It is a Bill Gates copy-cat of other word programs that really WORK.

Too bad the professional world is sucked up in that AWFUL program.

I refuse to use it.
