Considerations

This handout is designed to help walk you through Employ Florida (EF) resume upload procedures.

Some things to consider as you use this guide include:

• Employ Florida is an interactive website

o As you go through any process, screens—or subsequent screens, may change depending

upon your responses to questions, etc.

• Due the interactive nature of EF, screens depicted in this handout can only be a representation

of resume development

• EF will base questions and information requirements on how you respond to questions and

provide information during any activity

o Depending upon how you respond, you may need to provide more, or less, information

and answer more, or less, questions than depicted here
