How it works

Click Resumes in the sidebar.
Click Upload resume and pick the file (PDF, Word or text).
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.

Uploaded. Your first one becomes the default

The full-page editor. Fix anything that came out jumbled.

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; click the star on another to make it the default.

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.
