Some tips include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use only original Microsoft Word files (version 5.0 and higher work best). Do not cut and paste from other documents\/files. Save these as PDF files in order to ensure their formatting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid headers and footers, and use a common and easy-to-read font (such as Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Tahoma, or Verdana)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your format simple \u2013 the system will process bullet, bold face, underscore and italic features, but use them sparingly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your upload \u2013 once you\u2019ve completed the process, open it up to be sure that it has converted properly and looks the way it should. If you cannot see it, neither can an employer. When in doubt, delete the old copy and attempt the upload process again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 <a href=\"https:\/\/support.joinhandshake.com\/hc\/en-us\">Handshake Help Center<\/a> includes answers to many frequently asked questions.
