Hi Tallis - Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I'm not quite sure how we missed your post. The most common problem with the resume builder tool is with the dates in your resume. They *must* be entered in the MM/YYYY format for the form to be accepted. If you type anything else into those date boxes (including the word 'present'), you'll get an error message. Check over your resume carefully to make sure the dates are inputted correctly. Let us know if that doesn't fix the problem! -Jennifer

Hi Peter - Sorry about this. This is a bug that occurs occasionally with some users. It can be easily be fixed on our end in a few seconds, once we're made aware.. We're working on stomping this bug for good. -Jennifer

Hi Peter - If you've set your setting to Public and are still having this problem, it's due to a small technical glitch that can easily be fixed by one of us here at mediabistro.com. I've fixed it for you, so if you check now your page should be all set.

Hi -
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the URL for your Freelance Marketplace profile. For AvantGuild members, we offer the Personal Home Page, which looks like a Freelance Marketplace profile and has a clean-looking URL to send out (mediabistro.com/YOURNAME). Another possibility is to buy a domain name (www.yourname.com), which costs about ten dollars a year, and have that URL automatically forward people to your Freelance Marketplace profile. Hope this helps.

Hi again - Those headers cannot be moved, and only the articles underneath can be ordered using dates. As for entering dates, I see that you have dates on some of your articles but not others. When I access your account I'm having no trouble adding dates, so make sure you are using the right format (try both MM/DD/YYYY and M/D/YYYY, and be sure to use slashes!) and give it one more try. Let us know if it still doesn't work.

Yes, a good way to get them in the order you want is assign dates to them.

If you want to upload testimonials, accolades, etc., the only place to upload files is under Work Samples. Another idea is to mention them in other parts of your profile or include a link if they are posted on another site.

As for the changes, we're hesitant to put timelines on our projects because we have so many exciting things going on! Rest assured it's something we agree needs to be updated.

Hi Marybeth - Unfortunately, there is no easy way to reorder your samples. If they have dates on them, they'll automatically appear so that the newest is on the top and the oldest is on the bottom. Otherwise, the first one you upload will go to the bottom and the last one you upload will be on the top. This is something we're hoping to change for our members. All best, Jennifer
