To submit your resume, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Evaluate your resume

• Review the content to make sure it is current and complete.
• Summarize or prepare a keyword list of your specialization(s).
• Specify whether you are seeking a contract position or a permanent position.
• Specify any geographic/location preferences.
• Check for spelling and grammatical errors (You'd be surprised how many resumes show up with both types of errors.)

Step 2: Decide on the output format

Design a PDF, DOC, and/or text-only (ASCII) version of your resume. You are permitted to submit more than one file type of your resume.

Step 3: Submit the resume

Send an email message with your resume attached that gives STC explicit permission to post your resume on the web page and/or to distribute it to employers. Include instructions on how long you want the resume posted and in which of the categories listed in the first paragraph of this section you want to have it posted. Resume files are purged automatically on Jan. 1, Apr. 1, July 1, and Oct. 1. If you want your resume removed before or extended beyond one of these dates, it is your responsibility to notify the resume poster.
