When he hits create, he is taken to his home page. He has the ability to view past resumes by clicking on their names. Although there are currently no resume names as he has not yet made and saved any resumes. There is also a resume viewer on the page, where he will see a resume when it is clicked on. Lastly, there is a "create new resume" button, which he clicks on to create his first resume.
He is now taken to a page which resembles a resume, except where there is usually text, there are textboxes with hints.
He fills in these textboxes and has a form that now looks like this:
After filling in all of the boxes, he clicks the "preview" button at the bottom and gets a professional looking resume as follows.
He notices the 4 buttons at the bottom and tries each of them. The "edit" button takes him back to the previous page which he can edit. The save button opens up a dialog box as follows. 
He can type in a name and save his resumes. He can then view this resume from his home page under the "View past resumes" tab.
Next he tries the print button, which allows him to print his resume, by opening up his computer's print dialog box. He prints his resume and is ready to go.
Lastly, he clicks the fourth button, the "share" button. The share button allows him to open and share his resume with any email address he wants, by typing the email address he wants to share with in the dialog box and by clicking the share button.
He shares with his mom, because he is pleased with his resume, prints a few more copies, and heads off to sleep, confident now with his new career ready resume.
