Without having to have much experience, we only need Microsoft Word to make use of one of its features that will help us with this task.
Building a resume in Word 2013
We had previously mentioned certain number of new features proposed by Microsoft in its Office 2013 office suite, something that is worth reviewing to know the potential that we would be counting on when we get it. For the moment we will dedicate ourselves to mentioning a certain number of features that we could use in Word 2013 but, with the sole objective of creating our curriculum vitae. To do this, we suggest you follow the following steps that do not involve any type of difficulty when executing them:
- Run Word 2013 by searching for it from the Windows start menu.
- You will be able to admire the first welcome or presentation screen.
