Uploading Your CV
Uploading your CV is a great way of providing an even more thorough and comprehensive profile of yourself and your career to date, and gives inquisitors increased confidence in whom they are dealing with. In addition, since it is searchable as part of your expert details, it will also improve the chances of potential inquisitors finding you in the first place.
To upload your CV click on the Browse button and then select the file on your local computer system. Once the file has been selected, click on the Open button. Now click on the Update button at the bottom of the Expert Details page. If your browser does not allow you to upload files to our server, you can send it by email to documents@bumperbrain.com. Please remember to include your membership number in the subject line or in the message itself.
When you upload your CV we provide options for you to indicate whether you wish to allow inquisitors and potential inquisitors to download and view it. We recommend that you remove all personal and contact details from your CV, and then allow other BumperBrain members to view it.
Please note that your CV will not be displayed or searchable immediately - it will first be reviewed by BumperBrain staff to verify it's validity. Documents that do not appear to be genuine will be rejected immediately, and you will not be allowed to upload another.
For help on updating the other parts of your expert details, see the Expert Details help page.
