Instructions for Basketball Resume Template: 3 EASY Steps [Premiere Package Instructions Included]
FILL IN YOUR INFORMATION…BUT FOLLOW THE FORMAT
It’s pretty simple. Just fill in your information wherever it is needed.
To do that:
Hover over the text you want to edit
Left-click on the text
Begin typing in your info
Some sections will be in all CAPS LOCK.
Others will only have the first letter capitalized and a few may even be in all lowercase letters.
Whatever you see as the example, follow that format.
So for instance:
If the template reads:
CLUB NAME, LEAGUE, COUNTRY
You would write (as an example):
METAPAN, LMB, EL SALVADOR.
Notice how everything is in CAPS LOCK in the template so my info follows the same format (i.e. in all CAPS LOCK).
Whatever the format is in the resume template - follow it.
This allows the best possible formatting/spacing for the resume.
Simple enough.
