Uploading your resume

Upload it once. Every job is scored against it, and every tailored version starts from it.

How it works

  1. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then My resumes.
  2. Click Upload resume and pick the file (PDF, Word or text).
  3. Check the text: click Open editor and fix anything the upload mangled. The editor opens full page and saves as you type. Click Back when you are done.

On a new account there are two quicker ways: the last step of the welcome, and Upload resume on the getting-started checklist.

More than one

Keep a version per direction, like a “marketing” resume and a “product” one. The Default is the one every job is scored against and the one tailoring starts from; click the star on another to make it the default. Delete removes one; tailored resumes you already made are kept.

If the upload finds no text

The file is probably a scanned picture. Export a PDF from Word or Google Docs instead, or upload anything and paste your text into Open editor.

In the app

This didn't answer it?

Ask the coach: the round button at the bottom right of the app. It knows your jobs and your resume, and it can walk you through any of this.
