Pro feature - Requires WP Career Board Pro.

You can build one or more resumes on the site, make them public or private, and pick one when you apply for a job.

Open Candidate Dashboard > My Resumes.

From this tab you can:

  • Click + New Resume, enter a title and click Create.
  • Click Upload CV to add a PDF, DOC or DOCX file as a resume.
  • Click Edit to open a built resume in the resume builder.
  • Click View to see a built resume, or Open PDF to open an uploaded one.
  • Click Re-upload PDF to replace an uploaded PDF.
  • Click Delete, then Confirm, to remove a resume.

The number of resumes you can keep is limited. The site owner sets the limit in Max Resumes Per Candidate under Career Board > Settings > Resumes, and the default is 2. The tab shows the limit and disables + New Resume when you reach it.

The builder is a set of sections you open and close by clicking the section header. At the top you can:

  • Switch the Public checkbox. A public resume appears in the candidate directory and search. A private resume is visible only to you and to employers you apply to.
  • Click Save Resume to save your changes. A “Resume saved!” message confirms it.

Below that, fill in:

  • Professional Summary
  • Years of experience, which the candidate directory uses for its experience filter
  • Open to new opportunities, which puts you in the directory’s “Open to work” filter

Then add entries in these sections:

Section Fields
School School name, certificate or qualification, field of study, start and end date, grade, description
College / University Institution, degree type, field of study, start and end date, GPA, description, achievements
Work Experience Company, job title, employment type, location, start and end date, Currently Working Here, description, skills used
Certifications Certificate name, issuing body, issue and expiry date, credential ID, credential URL
Skills Skill and proficiency level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert)
Languages Language and proficiency level (Basic, Conversational, Fluent or Native)
Portfolio / Links Label and URL

To add an entry, open a section, click Add Entry, fill in the fields and click Done. Use the edit and remove icons on an entry to change or delete it. Click Save Resume when you finish.

When you apply for a job, pick a saved resume in Select Resume, or choose Upload a different file instead. If the resume has no uploaded PDF, Pro creates one and attaches it.

To let employers find you, turn on Public in the builder. Public resumes appear on the site’s Find Candidates page. The site owner chooses who can browse that page.
