After Isamu signs up, he will be directed to enter his basic information such as name, contact info, and address in order to be used in the future resume. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just filling the various fields and checking some options from a drop down menu.

Now Isamu arrives to the very first step of resume building. He is asked to provide information regarding his college and high school education. Using each add field, Isamu adds Brown University and his highschool, and can add more information for each one via the "Add More Info" button (which supposedly will bring a pop-up window with fields to add more data).

Afterwards, Isamu is asked to supply different experiences to his resume. He can use the "Add Experience" field to insert an experience or a position to his resume, and then click the "Add More Information" for each experience to augmented with additional information such as the position, the dates of start and end, and the different tasks accomplished in each experience.

When Isamu arrives to this page, he would have finished entering the information of each category (Education, Experience, Leadership, etc). In this page, therefore, Isamu can change the order of categories and subcategories in the resume, and removes things that he does not want to show. The different panels has an offordance of dragging, and are easily removable giving a great form of flexibility in reordering and selection.

Having done all of the previous steps in this wizard-like design, Isamu is ready to see the final outcome of his work and explore his finalized resume. He can, of course, go back and change things easily. Once the resume looks complete, Isamu can enable the option of sharing it with employers and creating an electronic form of it (such as PDF).
