I am just trying to upload a resume to an IREX career site and after I BROWSE, CHOOSE MY FILE FROM MY DESKTOP and SAVE... it repeatedy asks me to enter type of file. I don't know how/where to do that.. since usually it happens automatcially?

I have tried to upload it as a word .doc. A pdf, and a 2007 .docx... with the same response. Can you HELP?

What is the suffix of your resume file? What program did you write it under.

I don't understand LOL
The name of the file is DWA_resume.docx
Or dwa_resume.pdf
etc.

Please explain what you mean.. sorry I do not understand??

First, may I call your attention to the guidelines for using the comments feature found here:

Save the file as a 97-2003 DOC file. Then select /enter the type of files as a Word Doc.

Another bit of Info. WIth a file named DWA_resume.docx you are apparently using OpenOffice. It will be either, DWA_resume.docx OR DWA_resume.pdf. It doesn't save it as both. The Suffix is the .docx That is OpenOffice, IF is a .pdf then its an Adobe Acrobat file. It matters what it was originally, THAT specifies how the file itself is organized.

Try what ScottGem recommended first.

Docx is the default extension for MS Office 2007 and 2010.

Yes the filetype .docx is the newer versions of Office not openoffice.

Don't know how I managed to get those mixed up but I did. I'm still using Office 97.

That's OK. I believe openoffice's file extension for a word document is .odt

I could be wrong though, I haven't used openoffice except to install or friends when Microsoft Suite isn't an option.
