Summary

The Résumé Category Maintenance window is used to create and maintain certification and skill résumé categories. These certifications and skills can then be added to any new applicant in order to record that applicant's qualifications for an open position.

Step by Step

1     View the existing résumé categories.

• Open the Résumé Category Selection window (HR> Maintenance> Résumé category).
• The Résumé Category Selection window will display all the résumé categories that have been set up in the application.
• Select an option in the Type drop-down menu and click the Refresh icon to filter the résumé categories that are displayed in the data grid below.
• Highlight a résumé category and press DELETE or click the Delete icon   if you would like to delete the résumé category.
  • You cannot delete a résumé category that is attached to any existing skills or certifications.
• Highlight a résumé category and press ENTER or click the Modify icon to edit the selected résumé category.
• Press INSERT or click the Create icon to create a new résumé category. This will launch the Résumé Category Maintenance window.

2     Create or modify a résumé category.

• The Type drop-down menu is used to specify if the résumé category covers a certification or a skill.
• Enter a Category for the résumé category.
  • The Category field is used to enter a unique category title for the résumé category.
    • For example, when creating a certification résumé category that covers an applicant's proficiency with applications such as Word or Excel, you could enter MS OFFICE in the Category field. You would then add the individual elements of the MS Office suite in the next step.
  • This is a required field and is limited to 64 alphanumeric characters.
• The lower section of the Résumé Category Maintenance window displays all of certifications or skills associated with that résumé category.
• Click the Create icon to add a new certification or skill to the résumé category.
  • This will create a new line item in the data grid below.
  • Enter a description for the certification or skill. This field is limited to 64 alphanumeric characters.
  • Repeat this process to add additional certifications or skills.
    • For example, if you are creating a certification résumé category that covers an applicant's proficiency with MS Office, you could add a new line item for each element of the suite (Word, Excel, Access, etc.). When this certification résumé category is attached to an applicant, the user will be able to select the individual element and then provide details about the applicant's certification.
• Click the Save icon when the résumé category is complete.
• The new résumé category can now be added to an applicant record on the Applicant Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Applicant).
