G'day everyone

Currently, the link on one's profile page to a CV or résumé consists of the language of the file only. If a translator had uploaded more than one file, but both in English, the profile text looks like this:

CV/Resume: English, English

This is what it looks like on my profile page, and it looks as if I have two résumés. But I don't -- what I have is the same résumé in two formats. I think the label for the CV should include not only ... See more
G'day everyone

Currently, the link on one's profile page to a CV or résumé consists of the language of the file only. If a translator had uploaded more than one file, but both in English, the profile text looks like this:

CV/Resume: English, English

This is what it looks like on my profile page, and it looks as if I have two résumés. But I don't -- what I have is the same résumé in two formats. I think the label for the CV should include not only the language but also the file type, like this:

CV/Resume: English (DOC), English (PDF)

Also, not all web users are aware that you can hover your mouse over a link to see the type of file that will be downloaded.

What do you think?

Samuel

Great idea! Oct 8, 2009

Hello Samuel,

I think it is a great idea to have the file type displayed together with the language in which a CV/Resume has been uploaded.

Let me see what can be done.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards,

Lucia

CV/Resume file type information is now displayed Oct 8, 2009

Hi Samuel,

I just want to inform you that the file type for CVs in profiles is now shown in parenthesis next to the language in which the CV is written and it is part of the link to each CV.

Take a look at the 'CV/Resume' section of your profile and let me know if this works for you.

Regards,

Lucia
