Answers and Script
In this section you can type in your responses in and print them out. Here you can write your answers for Step One, Step Two, Most Important responses and Step Three - Writing a Script.
Before you start, please read the rules under "Can I type my answers into this website?"
Can I type my answers into this website?
YES! You can type your answers directly into this V-Resume website. The website remembers all your answers, so you can come back to it later and they will still be there.
For privacy reasons, it is highly recommended:
- Do not use a public computer, like a library. If another person uses that computer to look up the V-Resume website, your answers will still be there.
- Do not swap devices. For example: If you write your answers into your phone, it will not be available on your home computer. It does not transfer to a different device.
Once you have finished with the V-Resume website, delete all your answers. The website automatically saves your answers. You don't want your hard work to be seen by others. This is why you can print and save.

Go to the 'What to do next' section near the end of Step Two for more information on what is meant by 'most important'.
