Creating your resume:
The structure of the online resume
Step-by-step
A DoYouBuzz resume is like a website.
There is a home page and “secondary”
pages (professional experience, educa-
tion, skills...).
The home page is similar to a one page re-
sume. Space is limited so it is important
to only include your most relevant and im-
pressive information.
The goal is to give a recruiter a good idea
of what you can do in under 30 seconds.
If there is too much information, your re-
sume will be hard to read and may not get
the attention it deserves.
Secondary pages allow a recruiter to learn
more about your professional experience.
These pages should contain information
that will support your case, but is not
considered essential.
Tips
A great home page is usually structured
as follows:
3 to 4 professional experiences
3 to 6 skill areas
2 to 3 diplomas or certifications
1 portfolio element

Creating your resume:

lable to our Premium members. They are

You can customize the color scheme of a
design template.

Think about the image you wish to convey
to your professional connections. Choose
a design template that best conveys your
image.

Everyone should be able to control their
information on the Web.
DoYouBuzz provides different ways to be
visible online.
Publish and unpublish your resume
--> If you click “Unpublish”, your resume
will not be visible on the web. You will still
be able to view it when logged in to your
account.
Indexed or not indexed
--> When you select index, your resume
will be visible to search engines. That
means, you may show up in search results
on Google, Yahoo, Bing...
--> Please note that we do our best to op-
timize your resume for search engines.
That said, it may take a few days for search
engines to pick up your resume.

Viewing your traffic statistics
Step-by-Step
Your resume statistics allow you to unders-
tand the traffic on your online resume.
Two statistics are provided:
• Number of visitors
• Number of pageviews
Tips
It is very interesting to look at both statis-
tics together.
Example:
Imagine you have five visitors and five
pageviews.
--> This means that each visitor looked at
one page, but stopped there.
Now, imagine that you have five visitors
and 40 pageviews.
--> This means that some of your visitors
were interested in your resume because
they took the time to read through mul-
tiple pages.
