How to edit your CV on your Blackberry Smart phone

Times could arise when you might need to edit your CV or Cover Letter
to suit a specific job before sending it out to the employers.

Sometimes also, you might not have quick access to a desktop computer
where you can use Microsoft Word.
What then do you do? Send the documents like that? Or Ignore the job?
Please don't! This is one of the major mistakes many job seekers make.
Sending a generic CV/Cover Letter that is not tailored to a specific
job reduces your chances of getting the job. And of course ignoring a
job makes you automatically lose the job.
You have to find a way to always edit your documents and mail them
with your blackberry device while on the go without having to depend
on a desktop computer!
How to edit your CV(word document) on blackberry using Word To Go .
Word To Go, along with PDF To Go, Sheet to Go, Slide Show To Go, is a
component of Documents To Go which is a software bundle that comes
pre-installed on most blackberry devices.
Using Documents To Go, you can view PDF files and view, edit, and
format Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, and
Microsoft Power Point presentations on your BlackBerry device.
It comes pre-installed on most blackberry devices. But the version
that comes pre-installed might be lacking in some other features you
might need for some of your day to day tasks. Like the ability to
create new documents right from your blackberry or spell checking in
word documents etc. All these features are available on the premium
version of the software. An upgrade to the premium version would cost
you about
$49.99 (about =N=8,000). Unless you can afford it, I'd advise you
stick to the standard pre-installed version.
Since you can't create new word documents right from your blackberry
device using the standard version of Word To Go, You can just import
your already created document either with a USB cable or sent and
downloaded via email.

Here are the steps to edit your document:

1. On your blackberry home, navigate and click on Applications ,
you'll find the Word To Go App . Click on it. It will take you to a
window where you can open recent documents or open a file from any
location on your device. You can navigate to the location where you
saved your CV to open it.

2. Once open, Word To Go usually keeps a document in view mode(you
cannot edit or write to documents in this mode). You will need to set
it to Edit mode to be able to modify your document.

3. To switch to Edit mode, click on the blackberry icon button (home
button), then scroll down and click on Edit Mode . Then click inside
the document to start editing.

4. Basically, on this standard version of Word To Go, you are
restricted to adding and modifying words on your document. You can't
spell check, add hyper links, add tables, add bullets and numbering
etc. In most cases, I believe this standard version can help you give
a minor touch to your CV before dishing it out to employers.

5. Once done, switch to View Mode. To quickly attach and mail your CV
to an employer email address, click on the home button (blackberry
icon) and then Send via Email . The document automatically attaches
itself to the body of your mail. You can then type your mail and send.
