Database Highlight #10: We've got the Resume for That

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Tue, 09/05/2017 - 08:32

Libraries often report being asked for help creating a resume. This week’s database highlight, Cypress Resume, walks users step by step through the process of building their resume. Unlike Word Templates, which can be filled with trick formatting, Cypress Resume prompts users to enter the right information and even links them to a job description so they have an easier time listing the proper experience.
