Create a personalized database of job seekers in Microsoft Outlook

Create a searchable database of job seekers in Microsoft Outlook.

Step 1: Create a folder to store resumes you receive from ResumeXposure.com.

In the Folder List view (you can select this view from the View option on the main menu in Outlook) use the right mouse button, single click on "Outlook Today" (see picture below) From the menu that pops up, select "New Folder"

A menu similar to the one below should open. In the "Name:" field type in a name for the folder to contain the resumes you receive from ResumeXposure (Example: ResumeXposure resumes). Verify that the "Folder contains:" field says "Mail Items". If it doesn't, select "Mail Items" from the drop down menu. Now click on the "OK" button. You now have a folder to store the resumes you receive.

Once the folder is created you can simply drag-n-drop the resumes from your email inbox to the ResumeXposure resume folder.

Step 2: Search for candidates for a specific position

Now that you've created the folder and moved all resumes you receive to the new folder. You can search the folder for a candidate with a particular skill by using the Outlook "Find" button. To do this use the following steps:
- Using your mouse, single-left-click on the ResumeXposure resumes folder you created to highlight it. Then click on the find button from the menu bar. (see picture below)

Once the "Find items in ResumeXposure resumes" window opens, ensure to put a check in the "Search all text in the message" box. Type in the keyword skills you're looking for to search the all resumes in the folder. Only the resumes matching the skills you enter will be displayed. (See picture below)
