We allow PNG, JPG, JPEG, & PDF files under 2MB. There will be an error message alert if your file does not meet these requirements. Select a new file & proceed as usual. 

The file that I want to send is greater than 2MB. What do I do?
In the future we hope to expand the file size limits.  In the meantime, we encourage you to open the file on your desktop and resize it to be under 2MB.

Unsubscribing Clients

If someone you have messaged asks you to stop sending them messages using any type of wording (“stop texting me,” “take me off your list,” etc.), you are required by law to stop sending them messages.  Your user agreement for CareerHubUS.com indicates it is your responsibility to stop messaging them or they can sue you.  This is regulated by the FCC!  Please honor their request or you are liable financially.

Error Messages

Tips on Messaging
  • Tell them who you are
  • Explain why you are sending what you are sending – this will help you prepare for the workshop, job interview, etc.
  • Keep it short—texting in particular is a very different medium than email. If it’s longer than 160 character, consider sending an email instead or a hyperlink to a document.
  • Be warm and funny so people actually read the message.
  • Be careful about over-messaging – if you send too many messages people stop reading them or tell you to take them off of your list.
