Additionally, there are a few functionally focused resume books. Here are some examples:

• Not ready for employers to view your resume, and want to keep your Experience account from being deactivated » publish to the "Not for Employers" resume book.

• Looking for an On or Off Campus Student Job » publish to the "On- and Off-Campus Student Jobs" resume book.

• Looking for an internship » publish to the "Internship Resumes" resume book.

Delete an Uploaded Resume or Other File

• After logging in, select the "Documents" menu item, then "Your Resumes".
• Select document to be deleted.
• Select "Delete" on drop-down file, click "Go".
• Confirm deletion.
  Please note: The deletion of a resume will also remove that resume from any resume books that it is published in. If this is the only resume currently uploaded, you will be required to upload another resume prior to deletion.
