    Are you trying to upload a .txt file? What is the site that you're trying to upload to?

    Little off subject but have you had someone check your CV for spelling and grammar?

    You've actually submitted CVs written in notepad?! As in, plain text with no formatting?

    Download OpenOffice and create a decent looking CV in that.

    All jobs involve grammar! If your CV looks like it's been put together by a 6 year old (and using notepad isn't going to help) then the employer is going to put it straight in the bin.

    Here's the link for Open Office:

  • Open your cv using Wordpad, all versions of windows have it, then save it as a docx or doc, depending on which version of windows you have.
