Hi

guys, a very happy Sunday to you all. I hope you are having a

great time. I totally am.

 It’s a known fact that many job seekers in Nigeria already

have a job. Little wonder a good number of them own blackberry

phones. Lol.  Just kidding.

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!

Today, I am going to show you how to edit your CV(word

document) on blackberry using Word To Go.

Word To Go, along with PDF To Go, Sheet to Go, SlideShow 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

PowerPoint presentations on your
"en-us">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 hyperlinks, 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. Viola!
   

 Sit back and relax, you never can tell, you might be called

this time.

Good luck guys. More tips are coming from me.
