The description you entered contains invalid characters.(SBL-EXL-00151) WTF is this??
Copy/Paste from Word isn’t going to work (there was an earlier thread). Some have had luck copying into a text file, then to the form field, but I just eneded up just re-typing the whole thing.
yes, try copying into note pad and then to the form, let us know how that goes
I had lots of trouble getting through it too. Just send them your work experience to cmservices@cfainstitute.org and ask them to post it for you.
you have to type it in. no cut/paste. worked for me.
yep, I also had to retype the whole thing. I tried cutting/pasting into wordpad first and also deleting each comma, hyphen and apostrophe and retyping them but none of that worked. It’s also annoying how the system doesn’t warn you when it’s going to time you out due to inactivity. I had to warn my sponsor to copy his response to the work experience question before hitting submit in case it timed him out. He was much appreciative because that’s exactly what happened. They should realize that it takes a bit of time for some people to write out their responses!
oh my god…you think they hire smarter people to deal with this insanity. I called them today and the person just told me “no bullet points”. I told them “i deleted those so try again”.
IT WAS THE APOSTROPHE that messed things up. Believe it or not.
Try to post it paragraph by paragraph, you will find they capped the length of your discription. It took me 2 hours to figure it out!
