The next page shows a list of available
documents that you can put on your
website.
If you would like a type of document
included on your website, make sure that
you click to Enable it; otherwise you will
not be able to put those documents on
your site. Once you enable a document
type, you can check boxes next to the
documents you wish to include. To
disable a document type, uncheck the
Enable box. If you forget what one of
your documents looks like, click on the
document’s name to preview it.

Ordering Documents
Every document type available has an
Order box next to it. This determines
the order in which it will appear on your
website. 1st Page places that document
on the first page, 2nd page places that
document on the second page, and so
on.
When you’re done selecting documents,
click the Save and Continue button.

If you see a message at the top of the page that says
“Your website must include a resume…”, you must
include a resume in your website before you can save
changes.
In some cases, your may not be able to put a document
on your website until it has been approved by a career
counselor. Therefore, you may not be able to see
everything that you have created in the Document
Center; you will only see documents that have been
submitted and approved by counselors via the Review
Center. If this applies to you, you should see a message
under each document type saying “The resume you
choose must be approved by your institutions. Only
approved resumes can be selected”.

template, click the Use This Template
bubble under a template, then click Save
and Continue.

Sidebar
You have the option to configure the
sidebar of your website with links to
profiles on other websites such as
LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. This is

box.
