About Resume Template

About Resume Template:

We use resume templates to define the content that you want applicants to enter when they apply for jobs online.
To decide what the layout should be, think about these questions:
· How many pages do you want an applicant to complete when they apply for a job opening?
· What information do you want the applicant to provide regarding the job opening?
· In what order do you want the information presented to the applicant?

To set up resume templates, we use the Setup Resume Template (HRS_RES_TEMPLATE) component.
For the first page of the resume template, PeopleSoft delivers the following sections from which you can choose:
· Apply without using a resume
· Copy and paste resume text
· Upload a resume

Real time scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Suppose you have a Job opening and you want both Internal and External applicants to apply for the opening. But you want to present different set of screening questions to different groups. How can be it done?
Solution for this scenario would be to tie screening questions to Resume Template instead of Job Opening template and we set up different Resume templates to internal and external applicants.

Scenario 2:
A question of safety always comes when we allow applicants to upload their Resume through Candidate gateway. How to protect the system from any possible virus attack?
There are many ways to ensure the system is protected against any virus attack.
1. Continuously scanning while the Resume is being uploaded.
2. Creating a different web server for external applicants.
3. By using third party tools to monitor the actual attachments that are being sent via FTP connection.
